The speaker is a woman, her voice is very gentle, and with a little carelessness, it makes people feel very ironed.
Immediately afterwards, the person who seemed to be a maid in the yard said again: "After my uncle won the champion, the wife and the young lady became even more aggressive towards the girl."
"It's okay. Today he just finished the first place. Naturally, he has a lot of entertainment. Yurong is also a last resort. Du Juan must not talk nonsense."
Top pick? Shen Yurong? When Ji Heng heard this name, he understood it instantly. He knew about Shen Yurong, the new champion of the new discipline a while ago. Emperor Hong Xiao told him before that he was preparing to give Shen Yurong a house. I heard that this Shen Zhuangyuan was born in a common people's home, and his family was poor. As expected, he lived in such a back alley.
Ji Heng didn't like listening to the short corners of people's parents, but he didn't leave today. He was probably exhausted and too lazy to move, so he sat on the wall and listened quietly to the people inside.
"But today is the Spring Festival, so my uncle is just going to meet up. The lady and the young lady go to the temple fair by themselves, and the girl is alone in the house. What is it that is not deliberately making things difficult? The girl is also good tempered. If the young master is here, it must be Go ahead for the girl."
"Begonia, you're talking nonsense again." The woman's voice still didn't care, and smiled: "They're not here, I just hide some cleanliness, but I don't know that it is tiring to pretend and do things on weekdays. It is for me to have a moment of relaxation. I couldn't ask for it."
"They have too many rules in the Shen family, and they are not a big family. When they used to be in the Xue family, the girl didn't have to work so hard."
The maid in the yard seemed to be particularly dissatisfied with the Shen family. They were all "girls", and they clearly regarded the mistress as an outsider. As Ji Heng listened, he remembered that he had actually met Shen Yurong's wife.
Everyone in Yanjing knows that he is happy, beautiful, evil, and ugly, but every beauty must be passed over by him, as if he has a great honor in recognition. Little did he know that he had no such hobby, except for Yu Hongye, the women of the world were nothing but vulgar fans in his eyes. When Wen Renyao pointed Xue Fangfei to him from a distance above the restaurant, his heart was full of disdain.
This Xue Fangfei was born with stunning beauty and proficient in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but in Ji Heng's eyes, it was really useless. Judging from her indulgent and docile attitude towards her mother-in-law and sister-in-law, Ji Heng felt dazzling for the sake of the Shen family's persecution. Just saying "beauty is beautiful without soul". He hadn't thought about what kind of woman he would like in the future, but he would not even take a look at a woman who was as dull as a puppet and was as warm and cunning as all official ladies. How can such a person be called "the first beauty of Yanjing"
The impression of Xue Fangfei only stays here, but I did not expect that today, I saw a different Xue Fangfei separated by a wall. Unlike Xue Fangfei, who she saw in the restaurant, she was not a fool, nor was she hopeless, at least she knew what she liked and what she didn't like. It is a pity that she likes Shen Yurong more than herself, so that she is willing to sacrifice her "like" for Shen Yurong.
So loving this thing is the most stupid thing in the world. I like someone, treat each other with heart and soul, and get nothing for myself. What's the point? It would be better to be a watcher who is always awake, smiling and cheering on the side.
"The girl wants to swing?" the maid asked.
Xue Fangfei in the wall sighed with a smile: "It's been a long time. So it's rare that they are not in the house, I can be free." She seemed to be sitting on a swing and swaying.
It seems that through the wall in front of you, you can see the stunning woman with the appearance of hibiscus, sitting on the swing, smiling and slim. This is a more beautiful picture than the spring light. He can jump up to the wall to take a look at Li Se, but he hasn't done anything, still leaning against the wall, with a mocking smile at the corner of his mouth.
Even though he is extremely clever and talented, he can only be trapped in such a shabby house. Even swinging in the yard has become a luxury. Is there anything worse than this in the world? At least Ji Heng felt that Madam Shen was a little pitiful, and she herself was stupid and pitiful. In such a hopeless and humble day, she could actually enjoy herself. Is this how foolish people have stupid blessings
At least in Ji Heng's eyes, he only saw Shen Yurong a few times and knew that Shen Yurong was by no means a person who could live in peace and happiness. The ambition and desire in his eyes are more exuberant than his talents. He and the woman in this yard who can swing on a swing and become happy are by no means the same kind of person. If they are not the same kind of people, they are destined to not walk long together. The happiness Xue Fangfei thinks will be destroyed sooner or later. Xue Fangfei couldn't tell because she was the person in the play, but he could see it because he was the watchman.
"We have been in Yanjing City for several years, and we have never been to a temple fair." The maid muttered: "The lady actually said that the girl was too good-looking, and that she was afraid of being seen by the gangster. This is obviously an excuse. How can there be such a thing, Wouldn't it be ugly people who rushed to the temple fair that day?"
Xue Fangfei smiled in the yard and said, "Begonia, why are you so caressing about it, isn't it just a temple fair? When you were in Tongxiang in the past, you had less time to catch it?"
"It is precisely because there were a lot of rushes when I was in Tongxiang, but there was no one when I arrived in Yanjing City. This is not as good as the days when I was in Tongxiang. The slaves and maids are nothing, just the wronged girls. The temple fairs in Yanjing City are much more lively than in Tongxiang. The young master always asks the girl every time he writes, and it is difficult for the girl to make up every time."
Xue Fangfei smiled and said, "Azhao, that fool, I just believe what I say. Now it's just a few days old. When he really wanders around in the future, where will he see a small temple fair? I wrote to ask him what new things he saw and told my sister."
She didn't seem to be angry at all, even in the face of such unjust treatment and the harshness of the mother-in-law and sister-in-law, she did not take it seriously, and she said all excellent and pleasant things. So on this end, Ji Heng's sarcasm was even thicker. He had never seen someone so stupid before. There are such stupid women in the world. No wonder how many men always look forward to when they talk about the lady champion. There are many beautiful women born, and many stupid women are born, but there are fewer beautiful but stupid women. . Especially this woman is not really stupid, but pretending to be stupid. What is embarrassing is that she has been pretending for so many years. Is she deceiving herself? Or do you just think this is also good
Ji Heng is not a woman, she doesn't know what a woman thinks, and doesn't want to know.
But when he listened to this woman, he felt a little funny. Yes, he was not the only person in the world who had a bad life, and most of them had a miserable past. This Madam Shen, the first beauty in Yanjing, lived like this. Misery and stupid, and he awake prematurely to face the darkness, I don't know who is more miserable.
"Is the girl not complaining at all?" The maid in there was talking again, "The girl is not willing to write these things back to tell the master, the master and the young master will definitely help the girl if they know it. Where did the girl suffer before? Such a grievance."
"Cuckoo, these are nothing." Xue Fangfei's voice sounded from the other end, and she said: "I am willing to do this because of Yurong. Yurong knows what I have done. If Yurong also takes these things that I do as usual, Then I will be chilled. But the way of husband and wife is worth studying, which one can do everything well? If you want to say that a carefree life, there is only a little time when you are a child. There is nothing to choose from yourself. Regrets, just bite the bullet and go forward. I can't help it, and find another way out. But it's not that time yet, so don't worry about it."
There is nothing to regret about the choices you make? Ji Heng raised his eyebrows, and Xue Fangfei still regretted these words? But she was refreshed, and she had the courage to make a desperate move. I want to come, marrying from an unfamiliar place to Yanjing City, before marrying is very good, and the predicament after marrying is probably something she has never thought about. But Ji Heng was different. He had gradually accepted the fact that "Ji Donghan will die one day" many years ago. Regarding the changes in life, he didn't seem to have done as well as a stupid woman.
The more lively maid said: "I heard that there are still theater troupes at the temple fair tonight. We have been in Yanjing City for several years, and the servants and maids have never been to the theater again. It's a shame to think about it."
Xue Fangfei's voice was gentle, and she said: "What's the matter? I can sing as well. Although I can't sing well, you treat me as an actor. How about I sing "Suolin Pouch" for you?"
At this moment, Ji Heng under the other wall was slightly startled. I've never heard of a young lady who takes the initiative to sing for her servants, who are inferior in class. The ladies and their wives take the initiative to sing, but they never take the initiative to sing. When he was a child, he sang opera only because of his master's bad taste. He was so young and didn't know much, so he was tricked into learning opera. But it's been a long time since I sang, but I didn't expect that Mrs. Shen, who looked generous and graceful, could even sing.
She still sang "Suolin Pouch",
The rich lady in "Suolinbag" happened to also have the surname Xue. Xue Xiangling in that play was married to a remote place, and then was separated from her family on the way to escape due to the flood, and drifted alone to a foreign country. Life went wrong and changed drastically.
Xue Fangfei's voice is very clear, especially moving in the night. Singing is the time since the rich lady got married.
"After the wedding, I don't feel that time is like an arrow, but the youth is still a jade-looking Zhu Yan. Taking Jiaoer to travel around the long street in the car, and the sound of crying is shaking to the sky."
She didn't feel sad when she sang the sad lyrics. On the contrary, she was a bit neat and playful, as if she didn't care about it. Not like a sad woman, but like a child who has just come out of the world, with a bit of novelty, a bit of surprise, but not the least bit of self-pity.
She really doesn't seem to be a bad person.
"He was hungry in the belly, but he was not there, but why didn't he see the pavilion in the wilderness? Could it be that the ruthless flood happened? I was in a trance and carried the boat with everyone. Maybe the old lady was killed in the wave, a bitter fish. Belly buried. You can see my husband and Xuantai? You follow me back to my hometown to find the corpse."
Ji Heng was originally a very picky person. The world said that he loves to watch theaters, but he likes the appearance of being trapped and unable to extricate himself in the theater, crying for the joys and sorrows that do not belong to him. And he will always be a theaterman. Xue Fangfei sang very perfunctorily, she didn't get involved in the play at all, and her sad lyrics were not sad, but she sang a bit cheerfully. She was not a real Liyuan child, nor could she sing very well, but it was strange that Ji Heng didn’t feel disgusted. Instead, she sat on the other side of the wall and listened quietly, as if the voice was carrying The warmth made him feel as cold as a heart fished out of the ice cellar, and also softened and calmed down.
She is singing:
"Suddenly, I was completely ignorant of my previous feelings, and I drenched my clothes with tears and tears."
"I only say that my life is destined to be rich and honorable, and who knows how many times my life is. I think I used to act coquettishly back then, even if I don't believe in the future."
"This is also a lesson from God: He taught me to take away my hatred, to avoid anger, to rehabilitate, to change my feelings, to fall in love, to turn around in bitter seas, to realize Lan Yin early."
In that drama, Miss Xue's family had to go to someone else's house to be a servant after a drastic change. At this moment, the feeling of being human and wrong was born. When Xue Fangfei sang here, he also brought a touch of melancholy. This melancholy was extremely small, but Ji Heng caught it. This beautiful young lady is not happy about it, but her sorrow may be quite different from the sorrow of Xue Xiangling in the drama. Due to the change of status, Xue Xiangling went from rich to poor. Xue Fangfei clearly had a better life, but he had no freedom.
It was this melancholy that Ling Jiheng realized that this woman was naturally not stupid, she knew everything, but she silently endured it. No matter what she was for, there was a bit of sympathy with him. But Xue Fangfei and Ji Heng are completely different. Her singing is full of magnanimous and calm, bright and upright, as if she would not hesitate to walk over without a trace of fear even if the future was dark.
In the warm spring breeze and the singing and dancing night of Yanjing City, there were so many dirty trades buried under the darkness, but her singing was like a ray of light, illuminating the darkness for a moment, revealing the real appearance.
But Ji Heng also knew that such an open and upright woman, a woman who had clearly seen everything but chose a silly path, would sooner or later be buried in such a night. The person next to her pillow doesn't need light. He is also a person in the dark. Ji Heng understands more than anyone what such a person wants. Once Shen Yurong needed to sacrifice this lady, he would sacrifice this lady without hesitation.
The lady understood this, but her trust broke her cleverness and she was also deceived.
What should I say
Ji Heng didn't know what to say. He sang "Suo Lin Nang". The singing woman didn't enter the play, she was calm and enthusiastic, and he was a watchman, but the people who originally watched the play seemed to be fascinated. This is really a strange experience. But there is no doubt that he was on one side of the wall, listening to the rough lyrics of the woman on the other side of the wall, his desperate desire to die, somehow slowly dissipated.
He finds peace from this scene, a woman is fearless, what is there to be afraid of? Even if he has no one to rely on for the rest of his life, that's nothing great.
He slowly stood up from the wall.
On the other end, Xue Fangfei was swinging on a swing, and a smile spread from the yard. The beautiful lady was smiling, and how many people would like to see the beautiful face. Standing under the wall, Ji Heng suddenly felt that Xue Fangfei might really be a beauty.
The beauty is in the bones but not in the skin, but this beauty is not beautiful. Her posture is gentle and cute, and she looks temperless, but it's like a wild flower that hasn't bloomed. Before it blooms, she looks no different from other flowers. When she opened up enthusiastically, no one knew what color it was.
It's a pity that she was planted in the courtyard of the Shen family, and in this life she doesn't know if she has the opportunity to open up for herself.
The corner of his mouth twitched and his eyes were sentimental. He walked forward along the wall and walked to the door of Xue's house. The door was made by Chai Fei, and it was not very tight. From the cracks, you could see the appearance of the courtyard. He glanced lightly and saw that under the night, in the yard, a young woman dressed in common clothes was like a peach and plum, sitting on a swing with a beautiful smile.
Under the Milky Way, her smile is softer than the spring breeze, and her eyes are like stars, which are extraordinarily bright. She seemed to perceive the sight of someone, and turned her head to look at the door, with a smile that had not yet been put away on her face. The picture at that moment was beautiful enough to keep the memory here for a lifetime.
Xue Fangfei stopped the swing suspiciously, Haitang asked, "Girl, what's the matter?"
She shook her head, walked to the door, thought about it, pushed the door open, and saw outside, there was nothing empty except for the gentle wind on her face, like an old friend's greeting. She walked out the door and looked towards the end of the alley, as if she could see a red streamer, like a charming figure, nothing disappeared.
Only a faint lingering fragrance.
…
In the snowy night, I had a sweet dream about the spring night. There was an intoxicating spring breeze in the dream. Jiang Li saw herself when she was "Mrs. Shen". She was left in the house by Shen Mu and Shen Ruyun alone when she celebrated the Spring Festival. She saw the beautiful man in red walking into the yard. On the other end, with a smile at the corner of her mouth, she finished the song "Suo Lin Po".
There was still a babble in the dream, but the sound gradually drifted far away. But she was very strange, the memory stayed in the scene where someone walked by the door and looked at her through the gap of Chai Fei. She didn't accept her smile, and the other person's eyes were smiling. Thousands of years have passed since one glance.
Until Jiang Li woke up from her dream.
Wen Ji and Zhao Ke had arrived, and were guarding outside the cave. When Jiang Li got up, Ji Heng was walking in from outside. He handed the kettle to Jiang Li and said with a smile: "Awake?"
Jiang Li looked at his face, unable to say whether it was unfamiliar or familiar for a while, staring at him in a daze.
"What's the matter?" He smiled suspiciously.
"Ji Heng..." Jiang Li asked hesitantly: "Three years ago, on the evening of the Spring Festival, did you walk past the door of Shen's house?"
The scene in the dream is so clear that everything seems to have happened in reality. The time interval was too long, and she didn't know whether it was true or false. But she still remembered everything that happened last night. She also sang "Suo Lin Pouch" sung by Ji Heng.
Ji Heng raised his eyebrows, sat down on the ground in front of her, and said, "It seems that you remembered it."
"You... I..." Jiang Li was speechless.
She once thought that the entanglement between her and Ji Heng in the previous life was nothing more than a phrase "beautiful is beautiful without soul." Although she thought that Ji Heng was right, it wasn't a friendship at all. But he didn't know that that night, when Ji Minghan died, he sat outside his home wall and listened to the song "Suo Lin Po".
Is this entanglement of fate? Jiang Li didn't understand, but if she were to let her return to that night now, she wouldn't let Ji Heng leave just like that, at least talk to Ji Heng again. In his most desperate time.
"I will teach you how to sing in the future," he touched Jiang Li's head and said, "You don't sing in the tune."
Jiang Li: "..." She suddenly thought of something more important, and then looked at Ji Heng and asked urgently: "What happened to your injury?"
Yesterday, Ji Heng was seriously injured. Today, he can be so refreshed and talk to Jiang Li in jokes, but Jiang Li is still very worried and suspects that Ji Heng pretended to be.
"It's okay, Situ's medicine works well." Ji Heng said: "You don't have to worry about this kind of small injury."
"But you hurt badly."
"Not heavy." Ji Heng said: "But are you injured?"
Jiang Li shook his head. She still wanted to see Ji Heng's injury, but Ji Heng hid him. Zhao Ke came and said that Ji Heng was fine, and Jiang Li asked about what happened between Yin Zhan and Ji Heng. She only knew that Yin Zhan was dead.
Ji Heng looked at her, smiling slightly: "Do you really want to know?"
Jiang Li nodded.
Having reached this point, it seems that there is no point in concealing it. Ji Heng said: "Okay, I'll tell you."
Jiang Li listened to it for a long, long time.
Ji Heng told her everything, from the entanglement between Yu Hongye, Ji Minghan and Yin Zhan and Lin Roujia, to what Yin Zhan had done for Lin Roujia for so many years. Even earlier, when Ji Heng was a child, he began to investigate the truth, retrained the flying dragon knight, and ordered the Jin Wu army. In the Red Mansion Battle, the worst was to die with Yin Zhan, but in the end General Ji gave his life.
Jiang Li could hear the lowness in Ji Heng's words, although he didn't care about it, but in his heart, he was suffering for the death of Old General Ji. He spoke of the past in a plain tone, but Jiang Li imagined the bitterness of his growing up from an immature boy in those years. When a noble child of another family worked hard for a beautiful future, he threw himself into hell. He gave up his future to bet on a game that didn't know the outcome.
He is never sincere, because for a person like him, sincere is sin.
The more people are in the dark, the deeper they are, the more they yearn for the light. The lonelier he is, the more he has to wear bright clothes and listen to lively dramas. Walking through the bustling city, as if it can't be discarded like this. But in fact, his relatives left one by one, and in the end he was left alone.
He had a lot, no more, smiled and looked at Jiang Li, and said warmly: "Now I have nothing, girl, do you want to go back?"
Jiang Li looked at him.
His eyes were gentle, but Jiang Li felt very sad. In these days, after successive calculations, Yin Zhan's affairs had come to an end, but there was another Yin Zhili. There are also those Yin family soldiers in Qingzhou, Ji Heng will be tired no matter how fought this battle.
She said: "Who said you have nothing?" Before Ji Heng answered, she continued: "Isn't there still me?"
He laughed and said, "You are really... exactly the same as in the past."
On the spring night many years ago, after hearing her sing a play, he knew that this was a stupid woman. Once you fall in love with someone, you will be desperate, like a moth fighting a fire. She had clearly missed it once, but she still dared to fall in love with someone again, and bravely delivered her sincerity.
Her sincerity is simple and casual, but it makes him unable to extricate himself, sinking into it, and willing to deliver everything he has. So he changed from a shrewd hunter to a gentle beast, willing to be tamed by her.
"I didn't expect it before." Ji Heng said: "I only let people protect Jiang's house, but I didn't expect Yin Zhan to use Ye's family as a weight threat. I have asked Kong Liu to take people to Ye's house, and this will not happen in the future. Thing."
Jiang Li said, "It has nothing to do with you, but Yin Zhan is too mean."
Actually he could think of using such a method, he is also a general at any rate, even if the soldiers are not tired of deceit, but he should not use such a method that is not arrogant or even acting.
"I will send you back to Beijing as soon as possible. When you return to Beijing, I will let the Kongliu faction stay with you to protect your safety. Try not to leave. People from the Ye family live in the Guogong Mansion." Ji Heng said : "In the government office, it is safer than outside."
Hearing the words, Jiang Li noticed something was wrong, looked at him, and asked, "Aren't you going back with me?"
"Yin Zhili has launched troops in Qingzhou. There are many soldiers in the Yin family. Yin Zhan has planned for many years and intended to rebel. I promised the emperor to bring the Jinwu Army to quell the rebellion. I can't go." Ji Heng smiled.
"You... You haven't been on the battlefield." Jiang Li said eagerly.
He smiled, "You don't believe me, Ari." He said, "Many things, there is no choice. Only by killing Yin Zhili with my own hands can I feel at ease. I don't know how long this battle will last, wait. I will marry you when I come back."
"Ji Heng..."
"You can't marry someone else." He drew Jiang Li towards him and lightly pecked her lips.
"Have you really decided?" Jiang Li was very sad, she didn't want to be separated from Ji Heng, and knew that Ji Heng's going away was really dangerous. But she also knew that Ji Heng had decided to leave. In other words, it is her, she is Ji Heng, and will go to personally understand the unjust debts that have lasted for two generations. She didn't have any reason to influence Ji Heng's decision. She liked someone and didn't want to imprison him. She respected his choice.
"I want to leave you, will you forgive me?" He smiled.
Jiang Li smiled, and she said, "If you promise me, you will come back and marry me, and I will forgive you."
Her eyes were bright, frank and clean, Ji Heng was slightly startled, and she felt satisfied and grateful from the bottom of her heart. She smoothed out all her violence and gloom easily, making him calm.
He replied solemnly: "I promise you."
