In the end, I compromised, and with my worries about Liang Yi, I went to Cangdu with Li Sha. All along, Liang Yi and I were together, and Liang Yi accompanied me to buy many orders for my self-willedness, but now, everything has changed, and I suddenly discovered that the sense of security that Li Sha gave me was not there. I imagined that it made me feel more comfortable.
We sat in the bumpy carriage, Li Sha lightly closed his eyes, his eyes were black and blue, he looked very tired. We have experienced so many things during this period, I dare not even think about them, I am afraid to face those wounds.
The streets of Cangdu are still lively. When we came to the Gulou Inn, several people in the restaurant opposite had a fierce quarrel and overturned the tables. I went in and asked the waiter where my aunt was. He pointed timidly at the opposite side, and then went into the kitchen.
We went up to the second floor of the opposite restaurant, and as soon as we entered the door, I saw someone throw a stool at Aunt Lianyi's face. Before I could react, Lisha beside me rushed over and kicked the stool away , The stool clanged to the floor. I ran over quickly, looked at my aunt's shocked face and asked, "Are you okay?" When she saw me, she grabbed my hand and said happily, "Xizhi, where have you been all this time? "
Before I could answer, the leader of the group on the opposite side yelled loudly: "Stinky bitch, you offended our boss, don't expect us to let you go!" As soon as he finished speaking, he turned his head As soon as he moved, the people behind him followed him and left.
Li Sha wanted to chase after him, but Aunt Lianyi stopped him with her eyes. Seeing this, I asked, "Auntie, who are they? How could you offend them?" Aunt Lianyi waved her hands disdainfully, "They are a small gang nearby. Yesterday their boss came to my inn to eat Bawang meal. caught."
I didn't say a word when I heard the words, and she went on to say: "The old man asked me to accompany him to the restaurant for a drink. If I can make him collapse first, I will pay for the meal. I agreed, but he didn't know much about it. How can I bear it when I was poured down and refused to admit my debt after waking up?"
"... Then how did you teach him a lesson?"
"I have no choice but to report to the government. He is still squatting in the prison of the government." After she finished speaking, she glanced at Lisha and asked me, "I met him at the inn before. What is the relationship between you two?" She changed the subject too quickly, and I was a little confused. Seeing that I didn't answer, she asked again: "Xizhi, is he treating you well?"
I nodded subconsciously when I heard the words, a smile appeared on her face, she touched my cheek, and said softly: "He looks very reliable, aunt can't be wrong." I nodded, Ripple My aunt looked at me, paused for a moment, and then said something surprising: "When do you plan to get married?"
I looked at her in shock, and shook my hands in a hurry. When she saw this, her face sank, and she said bitterly, "Xizhi, since you already have someone you like, it's a good thing to get married early. Auntie can also do it for you." Witnessing a marriage, I think this child is agile, looks very handsome, and has been by your side to protect you, you listen to me right, aunt will not harm you!" She said and looked at Li Sha, smiling He asked, "By the way, what's your name?"
I was terribly anxious at the side, but Li Sha was extremely calm, and he didn't have the slightest intention to explain for me.
"Oh, the surname is Li, which Li?" Auntie was a little dazed when she heard Li Sha's name, and then quickly recovered her smile. I saw that the scene was getting more and more outrageous, so I immediately pulled my aunt and said, "Let's go back to the inn first."
We were about to go downstairs, when a few people came up to meet us, the leader was over half a hundred years old, and looked shrewd and wise, I looked along the line of sight, and saw that the person standing behind him on the right was He Yun.
At this time he also saw me, but he quickly looked away, and he bowed his head slightly and respectfully said to the person beside him, "Dad, sit here." It turned out that this person was He Wu, I couldn't bear I couldn't help but look a few more times.
However, we had just returned to the inn. When I thought I could breathe a sigh of relief, I saw three people I knew very well sitting at the outermost table.
My mood was a bit complicated, and then I saw Zheng Xingyue, who was sitting with her back to us, turn her head. She first glanced at Lisha, then at me, smiled at me and said, "Miss Wen, what a coincidence." Unnaturally pulling out a smile, she also felt that she was asking for trouble when she saw this, so she turned her head silently. I pouted, I didn't mean to.
Aunt Lianyi seemed to understand the subtleties, and she walked over gracefully, and said with a smile, "So you are Xizhi's friends." Then she said to Xiaoer who was serving food, "There is no need to close this table. If you have the money, just treat it as my invitation."
He Wan'er, who was sitting opposite Zheng Xingyue, clapped her hands and applauded. Out of kindness, I reminded Jian Yu who was next to He Wan'er: "He Yun and the others are at the restaurant opposite." Jian Yu was about to speak, but He Wan'er took the first step. He asked me, "What's wrong?"
I was stunned when I heard the words, and after a while I heard Jian Yu say to her: "Wan'er, I have to leave beforehand." After speaking, I stood up and walked outside, He Wan'er called his name when she saw this Chased out.
Looking at their backs one by one, I think He Wan'er probably doesn't know that He Yun is already doubting the relationship between her and Jian Yu, but Jian Yu is very clear.
At this moment, Zheng Xingyue sighed and said leisurely, "Why am I the only one left all of a sudden?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Aunt Lianyi sat down next to her, and said with a smile: "We are all human, so we can just accompany you." She waved her arms and beckoned us to sit down: "Come on, come on, You two sit too."
I sat down reluctantly, and Aunt Lianyi got excited, and called Xiaoer over to order a few signature dishes and a pot of wine.
"Your name is Xingyue, right? What a nice name, Miss Xingyue, where do you live?"
"Oh, so you are the lady of Zheng's mansion. I said why you look so juicy. I have met your mother a few times. She is a great beauty." She took a sip of her wine and added slowly. Sentence: "It's a little worse than our Xizhi."
I was a little confused when I heard the words, Aunt Lianyi winked at me triumphantly, and I was speechless for an instant.
Zheng Xingyue lowered her head slightly and couldn't see her expression clearly. After a while, she only heard her say softly: "Madam Zheng is not my mother. My parents passed away when I was very young."
Xiao Er served the food at the right time, breaking the awkward atmosphere at this time, and we began to eat the food quietly and harmoniously.
However, after only a while, my aunt posed a question to Lisha restlessly: "If we met for the first time, would you like our Xizhi or Miss Xingyue more?"
I held my breath when I heard the words, Lisha's calm voice came, only two short words: "Xingyue."
"What?!" Aunt Lianyi yelled at the table, "You are the one who wants to marry our Xizhi, how could you say in front of her that you like other women!"
"You want to marry her?" Zheng Xingyue looked at Li Sha in surprise and sadness when she heard this, with tears in her eyes, she looked very lovely and pitiful.
"Li Sha, so you..." She didn't finish the next sentence, but got up and left.
Aunt Lianyi put down her chopsticks heavily, surrounded by depressing silence, I drank the wine in my hand and said to my aunt, "Lisha and I are just brother and sister, aunt, you think too much."
I lowered my head, remained silent for a while, and then said: "If you want to chase, go chase." He didn't move at all, and I said again when I saw this: "Do you need me to explain for you?" Li Sha looked at me slowly, Shaking his head, he said, "No need, Wen Yi."
The sky was dark, Aunt Lianyi called me to her room, seeing her solemn expression, I knew that what was supposed to come was finally coming.
"Xizhi, if my aunt told you that you should bear the hatred of the previous generation, would you rather choose not to know all of this?"
I heard the harsh night wind outside the window, and I raised my head and looked at my aunt calmly, "I'm not afraid." Since my mother-in-law passed away, I have learned to face the hatred and blows calmly.
My aunt said it was a long story. She and my mother, Wen Zhiqian, love each other very much, and her younger brother, my father, he and his brothers all love my mother very much.
My mother is the young lady of a well-known rich family in Fuyang City. In the second year of their acquaintance, she insisted on marrying my father despite her family's opposition. Many things happened that year, my father's brothers broke up with him, and even turned swords against each other, and my mother's family suddenly encountered disaster and fell overnight...
Later, after going through all these hardships, my father and mother were still together. My father took over the failed business of my mother’s family and made a slight improvement. My mother embroidered and planted grass at home, and their lives were ordinary. And happiness.
But in the second year after they got married, my father's brother from the same family reappeared after two years of disappearance. His appearance began to break everything that was originally beautiful. Due to various unknown reasons, my mother even went to seek refuge with him with a big belly, but my father disappeared at that time.
The aunt looked at me firmly and said, "Xizhi, you were only five years old when your mother took you away. She always thought that your father had betrayed you. Your father visited you back then. I don't know if you have met , but once he went there, he never came back... So many years have passed, and I no longer have any expectations. This time I went to Fuyang to inquire about that person. The remaining poison has not cleared. Tell me, who is the person who poisoned him?"
"Is it possible that my father is still alive?" I asked.
The aunt shook her head when she heard the words, "Your father is already dead, otherwise that person would not have returned to Fuyang safely. If your father was alive, he would not have let him go."
"I'm telling you this because I think you should know your own life experience. That person is not going to live long. Even if he stands so high, he will eventually fall down... Xizhi, remember to go to Fuyang to see your father, you Remember, he loves you and your mother very much. If one day you remember the memory you lost when you were six years old, it may be cruel and make you sad. Don't forget, wait until the pain After the days are over, live happily and happily.”
