In the fifth watch, between the crowing of chickens and the night, the window is dimly lit.
Pei You'an will not wake up.
He had never slept so well as an adult, and although it started with unpleasant dream fragments, when those dream fragments were dispelled, the sleep was so long. And deep, and fragrant... soft...
He clenched his arms tightly, and the softness of his palms made him suddenly feel strange, his eyebrows frowned, like the chaotic consciousness in the clouds, slowly becoming clearer.
His eyelids jumped, he opened his eyes abruptly, and woke up. In the twilight of the morning, he saw his cousin, Jia Fu, who was sleeping in the same bed with him at the moment, covered by the blanket, and curled up in him. In his arms, he hugged his waist and abdomen with one arm, looking like a small one, only a blue silk and half of his face with his head falling on his shoulder and arm were exposed from the corner of the quilt, he still closed his eyes before he woke up. Sleeping soundly, his face was flushed, and he was motionless. He also hugged her, his arm went around her waist, and his palms were on the skin. The two seemed to have slept for a long time.
Pei You'an was stunned. At first, he thought he was still deep in a dream, but he finally came back to his senses. If he was pricked by a needle, he suddenly retracted his hand, sat up suddenly, lowered his head subconsciously, and quickly looked at himself.
Although he was still wearing the middle clothes, it was full of messy folds, and his lower abdomen was even more abnormal, and there was still a faint pain...
With a bang in his head, Pei Youan quickly lifted the quilt, jumped off the bed, and picked up the coat that she had taken off and hung up last night, and when he hurriedly put it on, he heard a voice behind him: elder brother… "
Pei You'an stopped and turned back slowly, seeing that she had been awakened by him, crawled up and sat up, hugging her chest with one hand, rubbing her eyes with the other, star eyes half-closed, Yan Ruo Chaohua, her voice vague, with Just woke up soft and soft.
She sat up and down, as if she didn't have an inch of thread, so she sat up, and although the corners of her chest were pressed against her chest, her bare shoulders and snow-white shoulders were still exposed. Snow skin was light, Haitang was carefree, her eyes were stunned and confused for a while, Pei Youan's chest trembled, the corners of her eyes were red, she closed her eyes, and turned around abruptly, but when she heard the voice from behind, she said again, "Big cousin. , I am yours. Last night, although you and I were not male or female, I can't have another person with my body."
She should have also been fully awake. Although her voice was soft, her words were very clear.
The air seemed to freeze.
After a long time, Pei You'an moved his shoulders and slowly covered the front of his clothes.
"You put on your clothes."
he said, his voice hoarse.
There was a slight rustling of dressing behind her, and after a while, she heard her say, "Okay."
Pei You'an did not turn around immediately, but still stood there. After a long time, he suddenly asked, "You went back to the house last night, how did you sleep in the same bed with me later?"
There was silence behind him.
Pei You'an slowly turned around and his eyes fell on Jiafu.
As the morning light turned white, she wrapped her body in a shawl and covered her shoulders with blue silk. She didn't move at first, but gradually raised her face to meet Pei You'an's two eyes.
"I came back by myself," she said softly.
"You're a girl, who taught you to use such unruly methods?" His voice was tight and his eyes were heavy.
"I came up with it myself..." Jiafu's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she lowered her head.
The air froze again.
Jiafu's heart beat faster and faster, and thin beads of sweat slowly ooze out from the tip of her nose.
She hated herself for being useless. He clearly thought about it, and told him that he woke up last night and was thirsty. She heard that he came to serve. He was half-drunk and half-awake and pulled her into bed, but she was powerless to resist.
As long as she insisted on it like this, even if he didn't believe it, he couldn't tell himself.
She had the guts to crawl on his bed, and when things came to an end, she really waited until he asked, but for some reason, she didn't want to make excuses for this despicable excuse. Even if he told the truth, he would be despised and even disgusted by him. Because the pretext sounded so disgusting to her.
How could he be such a person
It was enough for her to stay by his side. With her intuition about him, as long as he keeps her, he will definitely shelter her. As for anything else, she doesn't care.
She told herself like this, suppressing the anxiety and sadness that followed in her heart, summoning up all her courage, looking up again, and meeting his two eyes.
"Big cousin, I have slept in the same bed with you all night. If you don't want me, and if I am lucky enough to escape from the prince's hand in the future, I will cut my hair to be my sister-in-law for the rest of my life!"
When she finished, she held her breath and looked at him without blinking.
Pei You'an and her looked at each other for a moment, expressionless and noncommittal, and suddenly said, "Go back to your own room, and you are not allowed to go out even one step without me!"
"Big cousin..." Jaffe begged.
"Go back to your house."
He repeated it, turning his back.
Jiafu's blood gradually became cold, she sat for a while, got out of bed silently, lowered her head and walked slowly past him.
The threshold is not high, only less than half a foot. When she walked over, her legs and feet seemed to be filled with lead, and they were abnormally heavy. She moved back to the room where she lived almost step by step. On the pillow, tears slowly flowed out.
She had a feeling that her last fight had failed.
Last night, she mustered up all her courage, went back to his room, took off her clothes, and got into his arms. He just fell asleep and slept until just now, only to be woken up by the movement he made when he got up.
Is there a fool like her in the world
Jiafu's tears flowed even more fiercely, but for fear of being heard, she covered her mouth desperately, sobbed silently, and cried for a while, remembering that she was going to leave today, for fear that her eyes would be swollen from crying, she desperately stopped it. tears. At noon, a guard knocked on the door, saying that Mr. Pei had ordered him to call her, and she could come out and prepare to leave.
Jiafu didn't dare to delay, took the things, bowed her head all the way, followed the guard out of the chieftain's mansion, and came to the door, where she saw Pei You'an standing there, saying goodbye to the chieftain who sent him, with many people beside him.
Her head dropped even lower, and she walked quickly towards the carriage that was parked in the back for her. As she approached, a voice suddenly came from behind, "Cousin Zhen!"
Jiafu heard An Cangzhu's voice, pretended not to hear it, and hurriedly accelerated her pace, but An Cangzhu quickly caught up, stood in front of her, blocked her way, and said, "Cousin Zhen, what are you doing? Time to go back to Quanzhou? After a while, when I am free here, I also want to go to Quanzhou…”
He suddenly snorted and leaned over: "Cousin Zhen, what's wrong with you? Your eyes are a little swollen? Are you crying?"
Jiafu was both ashamed and annoyed, and shook her head: "I'm fine. I'll go up first..." She bypassed An Cangzhu and quickly headed towards the carriage.
"Could it be that my sister is bothering you again? Tell me..."
An Cangzhu chased after him, a figure suddenly flickered in front of Jiafu, Yang Yun came over, took the burden from her hand, and stood in front of An Cangzhu, smiling, "Miss Zhen is all right, Master An, please Stay, there is no need to send again."
Jiafu climbed into the carriage, closed the door, and sat inside. After a while, the carriage started wobbly and finally hit the road.
That night, Jiafu discovered something.
The direction she went to was not the Wuding Mansion when she set off, but to the east, going directly to Quanzhou.
The people who escorted her were Yang Yun and his men, and Pei Youan, he never showed up again.
She has exhausted all the ways she could think of and do, and finally she still failed to stay by his side, let alone let him marry her.
Although she had already had such mental preparation when she stepped over the threshold that morning, but when she really realized that all this was true, she still fell into incomparable sentimentality, regret and shame.
It's very strange that at this time, what she should have thought most was to lose the protection from Pei You'an that she wanted to hold firmly. If Xiao Yintang attacked her again in the future, what should she do? But all the way to the east, she didn't think much about it.
If at the end, it is really unavoidable, and it will fall back into Xiao Yintang's hands again, and the biggest death is just death, and suddenly I don't feel much fear. On the contrary, every time she thought about what she had done that day, she felt depressed and unable to extricate herself. She returned to her home in Quanzhou all the way. Mrs. Meng saw her lost and found daughter, hugged Jiafu and cried and laughed. Her brother Zhen Yaoting was overjoyed. The grandmother, Mrs. Hu, also had a smile on her face. After the conversation was over, a banquet was held at home that night to wash away the dust for Jiafu, not to mention the joy of the whole family.
On the day I got home, it was only a few months after Jia Fu was robbed, but for Jia Fu, it was full of things and people, and she felt desolate, as if she had experienced a big dream.
Half a month later, on this day, Mrs. Hu called her granddaughter into the house alone, screened the servants, and said, "I heard the Yang Enren who sent you back said that you were trafficked to Yunnan. Fortunately, you were on the way. It was only after the help of his master that he escaped. Now he has sent you back to the house at the command of the master, which is naturally a good thing. If I can see my benefactor someday, I will be very grateful. It's just Afu, Tell your grandmother honestly, are you still innocent now?"
On the day of the Mazu meeting, after Jiafu disappeared, Mrs. Hu sent people everywhere to look for it, but she strictly guarded her words, and only said that her granddaughter had left a distant relative. The reason for this is because at that time, the old lady was looking for a marriage for her granddaughter again. There was an official family in the prefecture, and there was a concubine in the family. , so half a sentence is not revealed. Later, there was no news of Jiafu. When I was extremely anxious, suddenly joy fell from the sky, and someone sent news of Jiafu's whereabouts, which was a sigh of relief. Now that she finally waited for her granddaughter to come back, the old lady planned to get married again. After asking Jiafu, she stared at her nervously.
Jiafu was silent, and Mrs. Hu understood. Her face was heavy and her eyes showed disappointment. After a long while, she sighed: "Forget it, it's not easy for you. It's good that people come back. You go down."
Jiafu kowtowed to the old lady and said, "Grandmother, I know that you have always wanted to use my marriage to help your family. This was the case in the past with the Duke's Mansion, and this time too. Since the granddaughter has lost her innocence, she is still alive. What kind of good people are willing to marry? Even if they marry before marriage, paper will not hold fire after all. If they find out, not only will they not be able to help my Zhen family, but they will be boring, and they may even have a grudge. The granddaughter dares to , please grandmother don't have to arrange my marriage in the future. I have no intention of marrying, please don't persecute my grandmother."
This was the first time in her life that she said such a thing to Mrs. Hu. The old lady was surprised and a little unhappy. She stared at her and frowned: "Have you talked to your grandmother like this? The marriage I paid attention to for you certainly helped my Zhen family's consideration, but they are all good people. You She is also my granddaughter. How could I marry you out of order? Now unfortunately, even if you lose your innocence and get married, there is nothing you can do to cover it up. Why are you so frustrated? If a girl doesn’t get married, does she die of old age at home? Where Is there such a reason?"
With tears in her eyes, Jiafu said, "Forgive my granddaughter for being unfilial. If my grandmother arranges a marriage again, I'll cut my hair to be my sister-in-law!"
Mrs. Hu was furious and was about to reprimand her when suddenly there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the door, and a servant said, "Old lady, my wife asked me to hurry up and tell the old lady, there is a distinguished guest at home!"
Madam Hu endured her anger and turned her head: "Which house's distinguished guest?"
The servant said: "It is said that the eldest son of the Pei family in the capital of the capital is here!"
Mrs. Hu was startled, hesitated, stood up from her seat, and said, "What is he here for? Come in." She left Jiafu and hurried out.
