From that day on, Zhao Jinyu refused to talk to Zhuang Qing, which made Zhuang Qing feel as cold as a snowy winter day. Sometimes people are really strange, knowing that doing something will hurt the other party, but he just did it , Relying on the kindness I have been to her... subconsciously believe that no matter what you do, she will forgive you.
This cannot be said to be all Zhuang Qing's thoughts, but it is similar.
Zhuang Qing once thought that Zhao Jinyu was such a cute little girl who completely depended on him and listened to him. She was someone he carefully polished since she was a child, and everything was so pleasing to him.
It's just that one day suddenly, her world is not his.
As long as Zhuang Qing shows a strong attitude, Zhao Jinyu will use a hunger strike to protest..., again and again, he will never dare to act rashly again, he has already felt the pain of regret, and he can no longer bear the other party's hatred.
On such days, Hangzhou ushered in spring.
Spring is bright and everything is recovering. It is a season full of hope. Unfortunately, for the common people in Hangzhou City, there is nothing left but despair.
After the rebellion, the Tiangui Sect's morale was greatly boosted, and they pushed their troops to Shandong. From the initial self-help donation to the mandatory handover of military funds later, they even snatched away the seeds sown in spring.
Seeing that the land could not be planted, the common people began to panic, selling their sons and daughters, murdering and setting fire, the originally prosperous and healthy Hangzhou city has now become a purgatory on earth.
Zhuang Qing has always been very kind to Zhao Jinyu, even though the whole street was filled with starving people outside, Zhao Jinyu still lived well.
Until spring left, the hot summer passed, and soon came the crisp and clear autumn.
That night, Zhao Jinyu stayed in the yard without saying a word and looked at the stars. She was very fascinated, as if watching the stars was a very important thing, so even if Zhuang Qing came over quietly, she didn't notice, or she actually I know, I just don't want to care about it.
Zhuang Qing was a little strange today, instead of leaving after just one glance at her as usual, she sat next to her.
The autumn wind gradually carried a bit of coolness, blowing Zhao Jinyu's hair flying, Zhuang Qing looked at Zhao Jinyu lovingly, couldn't help reaching out to help her press her hair behind her ears, but soon felt Zhao Jinyu's stiff repulsion, and couldn't bear it. He couldn't help but said with a wry smile, "Jinyu, this is our last night together."
Zhao Jinyu's iceberg-like face finally changed, and she moved her eyes to look at Zhuang Qing.
"Finally willing to see brother?" Zhuang Qing seemed very happy, and couldn't help but smile, just like the carefree young man many years ago, with a little complacency, as if making his sister happy It is a very important matter, and said, "You still have a brother in your heart, right?"
Zhao Jinyu quickly turned her head away, as if she didn't see Zhuang Qing.
Zhuang Qing only felt that the hair wrapped around her hands was still so lingering just now, but in a blink of an eye Zhao Jinyu became indifferent again, seeing the slightest throbbing pain in her heart, she was obviously used to it...
"Actually, if my brother said... that he once wanted to marry you and treat you as his father treats his mother, would you believe it?" Zhuang Qing laughed at himself, "Who knew that something happened to my father suddenly, and my mother told me that? ... , our family was originally a remnant of the Heavenly Return Sect, and my father was an impostor, and if found out, he would ransack the family and exterminate the family."
Zhao Jinyu stared blankly into the distance, seeming to hear but not seeming to hear.
Zhuang Qing kept these words in his heart for a long time, but he couldn't control it just after opening his head. His voice was soft and soft, like a veil around his heart. Zhao Jinyu desperately said to himself, this person is heavenly return The Xianjun taught is no longer the brother who can let you do whatever you want and spoil you, but he listened to it with disappointment in his heart.
"Mother said she wanted to go back to heaven and teach." Zhuang Qing said with a wry smile, "She also said that she couldn't take you with her because it would implicate you. How can it be for your own good to be left alone in the capital? In fact, it is just an excuse because I am afraid that I will not be able to protect myself and you. "
Zhuang Qing put his hand on Zhao Jinyu's shoulder, pinched it gently, and said in a low voice, "Believe it or not, my brother will not harm you, Jinyu, you will live your life well in the future, just like As you said... ever since my mother and I abandoned you, you are the eldest lady of the Zhao family in Hangzhou, and have nothing to do with our dealer."
Zhao Jinyu suddenly looked back at Zhuang Qing.
Zhuang Qing saw the worry in Zhao Jinyu's clear eyes like broken stars, so brilliant and dazzing, she only felt infinitely appropriate in her heart, and felt as sad as being dug out with a knife.
Suddenly he couldn't help holding Zhao Jinyu's face, and kissed it passionately.
Zhao Jinyu was in a trance for a moment, familiar smell, familiar face, fierce action but not forgetting to take care of it carefully... She didn't reject it, but had a gentle and hot feeling. For a moment, she seemed to return to the past years.
Feeling Zhao Jinyu's meekness, Zhuang Qing felt her head buzzing, unable to think, all senses and all souls gathered in those two soft lips. Wanting more, hugging her, wanting her to be by my side forever.
At this moment, the feeling was so strong that he wanted to discredit the promise he had made before.
Suddenly, there was a sharp pain in the cheek, and Zhuang Qing saw Zhao Jinyu, who was still in her arms, ten steps away from him, looking like a scourge, "Xianjun, are you awake?"
Zhuang Qing held his slapped cheek and felt his heart sank into the abyss. He took a deep breath and said, "Someone will pick you up tomorrow, just follow along. Don't blame my brother for locking you up for so long, brother I just want to spend a few more days with you."
The two of them sat for a while, and Zhuang Qing had to get up when he saw that it was getting late. He finally took a deep look at Zhao Jinyu, his eyes were deep, but they were as comfortable as the warm sun in March.
"Brother is gone, take care!" The words were deep, filled with infinite melancholy and tenderness, blowing into Zhao Jinyu's heart like a gust of wind.
Zhao Jinyu's eyes were red, and the water slowly filled up in the eye sockets. The hand in the sleeve was released and then clenched, clenched and then let go. Finally, she still didn't say anything to keep her. Ever since her brother Zhuang Qing left the capital, the two Individuals have already taken different paths, just like two parallel lines, after all, there will be no intersection.
Zhao Jinyu would think of this scene for a long time afterward. On the night when the moon was full, her elder brother Zhuang Qing was as gentle as jade, and her clothes were as white as snow. It was like meeting her for the first time when she was young.
It's just that she knows that many things are gone forever.
After that, Zhuang Qing didn't show up, and Zhao Jinyu was sent to Zhao's house. When Zhao Jinyu got off the sedan chair, she saw Pearl standing aside to salute her, but she burst into tears before she could speak, and said, "Miss, You're finally back."
Zhao Jinyu couldn't hide the surprise in her eyes, and asked tremblingly with a bit of luck, "Pearl, my grandmother..." Finally, he still didn't ask the words after that.
Pearl lowered her head and began to cry choked up, and said, "Miss, I failed to protect the old lady, she has already passed away that day, you have to express your condolences."
Although Zhao Jinyu knew that there was probably no hope for her grandmother, she always had some hope when she didn't see her for the last time. Now she couldn't help but staggered back after hearing Pearl's words.
"Miss, don't cry, now that you can be well is what the old lady is looking forward to most." Although Pearl said this, she couldn't help crying again.
The two hugged each other at the door and cried for a while, and Nanny Li also cried for a while, but after all, she wiped away her tears and said, "Pearl, I asked you to come and pick up the eldest lady. Why did you make the young lady cry? The old man is still waiting for the young lady to come over and say hello."
Only then did Pearl stop crying, and said, "It's the servant who is being presumptuous, Missy is going this way... the old master knew that Missy was safe and sound, so he was so happy that he didn't sleep all night."
Ever since she experienced parting from life and death, Zhao Jinyu had a real sense of belonging to the Zhao family, and said, "Grandfather is getting old, how can his body bear it if he doesn't sleep all night?" go.
Waiting to enter the main room, Zhao Jinyu saw the old man sitting on the grand teacher's chair in the middle, suddenly as if struck by lightning, but he hadn't seen him for half a year, his face, which was originally hale and hearty, became very old, and his hair, which was half black before, was now all gray and bent. The waist seems to be about to fall when the wind blows, and it makes people cry when they look at it.
"Jinyu!" Zhao Xingkun walked over slightly trembling, and shouted hoarsely while holding Zhao Jinyu's shoulder.
"Grandfather, how did you become like this!" Zhao Jinyu threw herself into the arms of the old man and couldn't help but burst into tears.
"Don't cry, don't cry." The old man Zhao Xingkun showed a loving smile, and coaxed him gently, "Grandfather is fine, don't cry anymore, why are you still acting like a child?"
Zhao Jinyu helped the old man back to his seat, calmly took the tea from Rong Zhenzhu's hand, plopped down on his knees, and said, "Granddaughter is unfilial, and grandfather is worried."
The old man's eyes were slightly red, he kept nodding, and said, "Good boy, get up quickly."
Zhao Zhenshan beside the old man also had tears on his face, knelt down to help Zhao Jinyu for the old man, and said, "Niece, get up quickly." Now Xiao Zhenshan has recognized his ancestor and changed his surname to Zhao Zhenshan.
Zhao Jinyu wiped her tears and got up, crying all the way from the door to the main room, her eyes were swollen, Pearl brought ice cubes to apply to her eyes.
The old man Zhao Xingkun said, "Your grandmother has gone, and you have never heard from me. I will still..." The old man couldn't bear the red eye circles while talking, and Zhao Zhenshan on the side said, "Father's Day, Jinyu's eyes are already red. It's over..., it's finally easy for the family to be reunited, and they should be happy, and mother Izumi Izumi will also feel relieved."
Zhao Jinyu found that Zhao Zhenshan seemed to have changed in just half a year, and suddenly he had a sense of responsibility and determination to support the family.
At this moment, a hoarse roar came from outside the door following a rush of footsteps, "The imperial decree has arrived."
