"In an instant, all the seven emotions were tasted, and the sour and bitter parts penetrated and the clothes were wet with tears... He taught me to accept the lingering regrets, avoid being spoiled and angry, and rehabilitate myself. …”
"The Peony Tribulation" is a tragedy from beginning to end. Shen Yuan has never liked it, but he hugged his pipa and sang to himself on a sunny morning. The back garden is far away from the crowd, and it is usually colder than the front one. However, the sunshine that day was exceptionally warm. It hung high early in the morning, and the brilliant golden light shone down, illuminating the entire small courtyard with warmth. It didn't seem like winter at all. There was smoke from the kitchen on the top of the small kitchen. There is no smell of firewood on the stove, but there are rows of forsythia flowers planted along the roots of the wall. The flowers bloom early and are very fragrant.
Two days have passed, and the headache caused by the hangover has completely dissipated. Only Feiyue and Feiyun know best how many hours their young lady has been sleeping. It is clearly the same incense bedding, and the oiran lady But he is extremely lazy, comparable to that tortoiseshell cat who takes a nap all day long.
Ever since the New Year's Eve, Mrs. Mo Zhang had settled most of her worries. That day, Lengxiang Oiran was greedy and slightly drunk. She still had to be coaxed by Li Xuecheng before she was willing to drink the sobering soup. It was just like on Chinese Valentine's Day. , only with the help of wine, Shen Yuan dared to be a little bold and reveal a little sincerity; her adoptive mother smiled and said nothing, took a few girls to close the door and left first, leaving a pair of men and women behind to whisper.
It's a pity that Shen Yuan can't remember clearly. The last thing he heard and saw was that Li Xuecheng was frowning and looking at her with a hint of unbearability. She asked what was wrong with brother Xuecheng, but the response she got was not what she asked - Li Xue Cheng scooped up the remaining half bowl of hangover soup in his hand, and with gentle words urged her to drink it quickly.
"Sister Yuan, you're drunk." What caught the oiran's eyes was the hesitant look of the man, who seemed to be jumping repeatedly in some unspeakable emotion. Shen Yuan was not confused, and stubbornly blocked his hand, and couldn't help but say something. Press it on the table.
"Brother Xuecheng... we have reached this point. You and your wife have made an oath that you and I will become husband and wife in the future. If there is anything you have not said before, you can tell me now."
I couldn't tell whether it was the sweet-scented osmanthus stuffed wine or the rouge. The courtesan's cheeks were red and charming, but her eyes were as clear as the bubbling mountain spring. She was so calm that anyone who looked at her would have their heart tremble. She was born with amber eyes, and her beauty was different from ordinary people. In inappropriate situations, it becomes an invisible oppression.
She was always too sober...but she failed to live up to Mrs. Mo Zhang's kindness.
Li Xuecheng was stunned for a moment, becoming the embarrassed one. Shen Yuan seemed to have said similar words to him as early as summer; he was prevarication at that time, so what will happen this time?
To Mrs. Mo Zhang, what he said could not be called an oath of love. It was a genuine expression of his feelings. Shen Yuan wanted to be frank with him at this moment, which was even more natural - Li Xuecheng was entangled, and for a moment he was impulsive. I want to simply show off my cards with her and treat her as an afterthought.
But in the end, he did not choose to take the risk, and just used the same words to get over it. Little did he know that it was not that he was eloquent, but that the beauty was willing to accompany him. Shen Yuan was drunk again, just like the long night of Chinese Valentine's Day, and was not demanding. Get a satisfactory answer.
After all... if you work together with your heart, you will never know whether it is against your will or not.
Shen Yuan's hand was very cold, even when he was drunk. It penetrated the flesh and blood and spread into Li Xuecheng's palm with irresistible force, making him feel this unforgettable coldness. However, Li Xuecheng clearly remembered that there was such a coldness. After a while, this woman's cold symptoms began to improve, and her fingertips felt slightly warm when she occasionally touched them.
Is this disease really so terrible?
"...I think back then, I used to act coquettishly. Even if I don't believe in my past, this is still a lesson from God..."
There was no piano music playing, and the oiran lady hummed softly in a soft accent, for only one person in Li Xuecheng to listen to. At that time, she did not know that the words "walls have ears" that she said every day actually happened to her. Often without noticing.
"Brother Xuecheng, I'm not very good at singing. Does it sound good?"
Shen Yuan couldn't remember too many lyrics, he was drunk, and his throat was not feeling well. He pulled Li Xuecheng to ask him for comments. The man's answer was naturally to make her happy, but in fact, no matter whether it was successful or not, the tender intestines inside were all knotted. It comes from the bottom of my heart, it makes my bones melt at first glance, and it cannot withstand careful scrutiny at all.
The liveliness of Lengxiang Pavilion lasted until the willow branches under the moon. Not many guests dispersed, and most of those who could come on this day stayed. Shengqiu Xiao was special. Her benefactor rarely stayed overnight, and she was only allowed to see him off. When she arrived at the door of the building, she never forced Qiu Xiao to show her face on the street. The atmosphere of farewell was not strong. When Mrs. Sheng walked back, she met Li Xuecheng and Mrs. Mo Zhang saying goodbye. She accidentally overheard that the oiran was too drunk and was already drunk. Go to sleep.
"You see, this is the right time and place, but only people are at odds with each other." Sheng Qiuxiao blessed the pavilion master and guests, and led Xiao Ju to wait respectfully aside, waiting for them to go away before joining her maid. He said, "I told you just now that I don't feel sleepy right now. If the lady is free, let's go talk to her and have a cold dumpling to relieve our tiredness."
"If sister doesn't want to sleep, why don't you talk to me as a servant?" Xiao Ju said wisely, "I will go bring you hot water while I go back to my room to take a bath to relieve my fatigue."
The master and the servant were talking and walking, and they didn't pay attention to someone walking towards them. They almost bumped into each other head on. Qiu Xiao was out of strength and staggered a few steps. Xiao Ju quickly reached out to help her and looked up. The person walking in the wind was actually Jiu Xiao. Learned from Liu Quyin.
It's just... Sheng Qiuxiao didn't expect that Master Liu never liked red clothes, but he also had the rule of changing clothes three times a day. The fringed hairpin on his head was particularly eye-catching. Liu Quyin didn't say anything when he bumped into someone, he just stood there. , crossing their arms and looking at each other coldly.
"Master Liu, I'm really sorry. It's my fault that I walked carelessly and conflicted with you. Please don't be offended." Sheng Qiuxiao took the initiative to bend down. Although she didn't understand why Liu Quyin's mood changed, she didn't want to do it for a trivial matter. , to annoy this master.
Xiaoju realized what was going on and immediately knelt down and apologized again and again. If it was normal, Liu Quyin would not care about such a trivial matter. He would have helped the two girls up with a smile, and even said that it was not good for me, so I would like to ask my wife. Don't be angry; the weather has changed that day, and the bartender seems to be extremely disdainful, snorting and walking away.
"Master Liu..." Sheng Qiuxiao subconsciously shouted, but the next moment she swallowed the words back, and then personally helped Xiao Ju up: "It's strange, why is she going outside at this hour? There are obviously rules in the building. , No matter who wants to go out after Hai Shi, he must have spoken to his wife."
