Chapter 2 Find a beautiful place to hang yourself
As night fell, the sky was completely dark, and Tao Yue'er walked aimlessly on the street. The restaurants beside the road were filled with people talking loudly, making impassioned voices, pointing out the meaning of the country, as if everything was in the palm of their hand.
Every year on March 3rd, everyone else is honored with their names on the gold list, and they are proud of themselves. The husband and the king look after each other, and the three matchmakers and six ladies hold hands and reach the pinnacle of life. Even those students who failed the list, even if they did not pass the imperial examination, can still be admitted.
Some women with better family backgrounds are interested in her, and they have the beauty of being able to sit opposite each other and rely on each other after they get married.
But for the past ten years, she has only ended up in misery and misery. Between cups and cups, it seems that other people's dogs can afford meat, but she doesn't even have the money to eat a steamed bun in her pocket. This world is really dry.
Death from drought, death from waterlogging.
Tao Yue'er looked up at the sky and found that the world was vast, but there was nowhere to call home.
"Yue'er?"
"Is it Tao Yue'er?"
Suddenly, a man and a woman called from behind. The familiar voices made Tao Yue'er freeze up. After a long period of confusion, Tao Yue'er turned around.
Not far behind were two soft sedans, with a man and a woman standing beside them. The man was tall, handsome, and suave, holding a girl; the woman was dressed in rich clothes, covered with gold and jade, and was holding a baby in her arms.
You can tell at just one glance that they are an enviable couple.
"It's Qiubi and Guanting...well, long time no see." Tao Yuer'er arched her eyebrows and tried her best to smile, but her smile was uglier than crying.
"It's really Yue'er... I feel like it from a distance, but I don't think it's really..." Chen Qiubi's face was moved, and her eyes were red. Lu Guanting immediately took out a handkerchief and wiped the corners of her eyes. Then he helped her to face Tao Tao
The moon is coming.
As the two of them got closer, Tao Yue'er gradually stood up straight and began to feel at a loss. Her hands were behind her back and she even trembled a little.
Her heart was far from as peaceful as she appeared.
"Yue'er, are you... okay?" Chen Qiubi hesitated, remembering that today is March 3rd, and seeing her expression, he already guessed that no one cares about her again.
The reputation of her old girl has spread throughout Jingcheng, and of course has reached the ears of these childhood playmates.
Tao Yue'er raised the corners of her mouth, nodded like garlic, and said, "I'm fine, how about you?"
Lu Guanting hugged Chen Qiubi's shoulders and said nothing. Chen Qiubi arched her eyebrows and said softly: "Min'er has just turned one year old. We can be considered a son and a daughter. We can watch the moonlight until the clouds clear."
Chen Qiubi and Lu Guanting were both childhood sweethearts of Tao Yue'er, and the three of them were childhood sweethearts. Chen Qiubi was just as poor as she was, and she didn't have any amazing looks, so they separated very early. Lu Guanting lost news after his scientific examination, and was ten years old.
There has been no news for years. She has been wondering whether her childhood friends are struggling like her.
She had always worried about them, but now it seemed that she was overthinking it.
She was the only one struggling.
"That's great, congratulations to you." Tao Yue'er rubbed her hands, took it out of her pocket for a long time, and said awkwardly: "Look at me, I don't bring any money when I go out, and I want to give my child a meeting gift. Now..."
Lawrence Lu couldn't bear it, he hesitated to speak, as if he wanted to speak but didn't know where to start.
Chen Qiubi, on the other hand, was more generous and enthusiastic. She walked up directly, held her hand distressedly, and interrupted her: "Yue'er, why are you so polite to us? You are so thin, have you eaten? Why don't you go ahead?
Fu Yixu?"
Tao Yue'er waved her hands repeatedly, shook her head and said, "I've eaten. I still have something to do, and I'm leaving Jingcheng tonight."
"That's it... Then we'll get together when you come back. I live in Shiyongfang. If you ask anyone everywhere, they will know Bao Guanting's name." Chen Qiubi said, taking out two ingots of silver from her arms and stuffing them in
Tao Yue'er held it in her hand and told her to accept it no matter what.
"I can't accept your money, I'm not short of money." Tao Yue'er refused repeatedly, but Lu Guanting also came forward and directly stuffed the money into her hand, saying: "Why are you being so polite to us? This is
You deserve it."
Yeah……
Yes, she deserves it.
Tao Yue'er looked at her childhood friend's half-pursed lips and frowned eyebrows, knowing that if she didn't accept their money today, they wouldn't be in a good situation. In order to make others feel better, she took the money herself.
Come on. Self-esteem and other things have already rolled in the dirt a few times, and it doesn't matter if you step on it a few times.
"Thank you very much." After Tao Yue'er finished speaking, she lowered her head and looked at her toes.
"Then, see you another day."
"Okay." Tao Yue'er nodded, tears welling up in her eyes. She never raised her head to look at the two of them. When they got on the sedan and walked away, she raised her head and watched the two sedans go further and further away. Finally,
Disappeared around the street corner.
Tao Yue'er looked at the silver in her hand, clenching and letting go. She wanted to throw it away several times but was reluctant to do so.
She walked and walked, and saw a beggar on the roadside, so she gave him away. The beggar was grateful behind her, but her heart felt completely cold.
She had long heard that Chen Qiubi was married and had children, but she didn't expect that her husband was Lu Guanting.
Lu Guanting was once her best friend and only friend. She stole wild vegetables and fruits from various places and sold them, and when she made money, she bought books for him. He once said that if no one married him after the age of fifteen,
He reluctantly married her into his family. As long as he had a bite of food, she would have her share. So she worked harder to dig wild vegetables.
Later... Lu Guanting was indeed admitted to the Juren Examination, and then went to work as an official in a foreign government. Now that he has been transferred back to the capital, he should have a bright future and be promoted step by step. Looking at their daughter's age, she is probably fifteen.
He was born that year. But when did Chen Qiubi and Lu Guanting get together?
The wild vegetables I dug were really meaningless. Instead, I missed the best age for choosing a mate, dragging myself into a grown-up girl.
Tao Yue'er rubbed her hands, feeling empty in her heart, but she didn't seem to be angry at all.
Lu Guanting never said he loved her. Whether it was waiting or digging wild vegetables, it was all of her own free will. She didn't need any verbal agreement from him, so she did everything happily. She put herself in the position of Lu Guanting's wife.
, and did everything that was good to him.
Later, Lu Guanting disappeared, and she did not wait for him. Instead, she listened to her grandparents and attended the March Flower Party. Her current misery just showed that Lu Guanting's choice was not wrong.
Not only did he look down on her.
Everyone in Jingcheng looked down upon her.
Realizing this, Tao Yue'er found that she didn't even have the right to blame them.
She is cowardly and has no independent opinion. Lu Guanting asked her to wait, so she waited. Lu Guanting disappeared, and her grandparents asked her to go on a blind date, so she went on a blind date. She couldn't blame them. She didn't blame them at all. Instead, she gave her heartfelt blessings. They all came out of a slum.
Yes, she should be happy that the two of them can get married.
Tao Yue'er sniffed, thinking of her life that was like a laughingstock, and felt that she was a complete waste, and that even living was a waste of air.
Why not just find a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters... and hang yourself.
A ghost house is also a house.
There, there should be no more leaks in the house and it rains all night.
