Wen Chu's angry voice made her two bodies tremble in fright, and she could only stop.
Song Lin strode forward, grabbed her arm, and shouted sternly: "Who are you, and why are you eavesdropping here?!"
Wen Chu's arm hurts , she looked at Song Lin who looked like he was going to peel her skin off and eat her alive, then thought of what she had just heard, and suddenly felt that her death was not far away.
Song Lin's life was too bluffing. Wen Chu had seen this man's father, the late chief minister. Although he was strict, he was not like Song Lin. Moreover, the son Song Lin gave birth to Song Yusheng is not like this either. Why is this Song Lin caught in the middle, looking like he wants to destroy the world?
Wen Chu was extremely horrified to see him like this, and all the words were stuck in his throat and he couldn't say anything.
Fortunately, within a few breaths, Song Yusheng's voice came from behind, "Stop."
His voice was as cold as ice, but just these two words really made Song Lin loosen his hand. .
Song Yusheng said such words to his father, the head of the Duke's Mansion, which was really out of order.
Song Lin said: "Do you know who you are talking about with the word 'stop' today? Although I am not a loving father, you are like this because of me. You are not even willing to pretend now." Is it done?”
Song Yusheng ignored his words and calmly pulled the frightened Wen Chu behind him.
He said: "How? I just told my father, and he can just whip his whip at me like before."
There was a rustling sound of the wind blowing the leaves in the courtyard. It seemed like it was going to rain. The sky, which was still bright in the afternoon, was suddenly swallowed up and eaten away by the blue clouds rolling in from not far away. Song Lin's eyes seemed to be filled with anger, but Song Yusheng didn't give him a chance to explode.
He said quietly: "Father, please come back early. It seems like it will rain today."
Song Lin did not respond to his words, but pointed at Wen Chu behind him and said: " She heard everything today, you want to keep her?”
“She is my person, so what does it matter if she hears it?”
Suddenly a drop of rain fell from the sky and hit Wen Chu's face, and her uneasiness and fear were suddenly wiped away.
After Song Lin heard what Song Yusheng said, he had no choice but to whip him? Since he was not afraid of being overheard, he couldn't control him and was too lazy to control him. Song Lin finally walked away.
Song Yusheng turned around and looked at Wen Chu, who had his head lowered. In the end, he didn't say anything. Seeing that the rain was getting heavier, he turned around and walked back into the house.
Wen Chu saw him entering the house and followed him.
She knew that she had heard too many things that she could not hear today, and she did not know how Song Yusheng would deal with her.
The minister's wing of Dali Temple is very simple. When you enter the room, you can see two sets of mahogany tables and chairs, one on the left and right facing each other. There are two chairs on the left and right of the table, presumably for receiving guests. In addition, the side room is a rectangular mahogany table, accompanied by a carved mahogany chair, with a pile of documents placed on it. There is a plaque hanging directly above the desk with the four characters "Justice in Everything" written on it.
Song Yusheng did not sit back at the desk where he handled official business, but sat at the table where he usually received guests.
He motioned with his eyes to Wen Chu to take out the vegetables from the food box. Wen Chu understood and quickly took action.
Song Yusheng didn't mention what happened just now, and just ate his meal on his own.
The rain outside the house is really getting heavier and heavier. The summer rainy day is muggy and hot, and there is a bit of dust in the air.
After the meal, Song Yusheng put down his chopsticks and cleaned his mouth.
He looked at Wen Chu and found sweat on her forehead, and asked Qisheng: "Wearing so much, aren't you hot?"
Wen Chu was even like this In the summer, I still wear thick clothes. In the past, when she lived in Zhaojiacun, she and Father Wen had little money, and even their winter clothes were thin and could not keep people warm. If Wen Chu had no money to wear thick clothes when she was poor, then she would be able to withstand the cold, and she would survive winter after winter like this. But if you are like now and have enough money to wear clothes, you have to wrap yourself up even in the hot summer, as if you want to make up for the cold you suffered in the past few years.
Actually, Wen Chu really didn't feel hot. It was just because of the fear in his heart that cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
She raised her hand to wipe her sweat and said, "It's not hot."
Song Yusheng did not continue this topic. After such a long time, he finally asked about what happened just now. He raised his eyes and looked at her and asked: "Did you hear everything?"
Wen Chu was in this matter I didn't even dare to lie. She nodded honestly, then knelt down on the ground, her head pressed firmly against the ground, and she said: "I will definitely forget these words! Your Majesty, just pretend that I have never been here today. Go! ”
"If I really taboo these things, you will definitely not survive today, but you are lucky, I don't taboo it." Song Yusheng had a faint smile on his lips, as if he found Wen Chu's behavior very ridiculous, he Then he said: "So , Just listen if you hear it, it’s not a crime.”
Song Yusheng just wanted her to give her a meal, and he didn’t want her to encounter such a scene, but it didn’t matter if he heard it. Don't care about these things.
As he just said, if you don’t want others to know, you have to do it yourself.
Since he has done this, since he has been misbehaving, it doesn't matter if someone finds out.
He was too lazy to cover up.
Hearing what Song Yusheng said, Wen Chu straightened up and quietly glanced at Song Yusheng's expression. When he saw that his words did not seem to be lying, he was completely relieved.
A heavy rainstorm hit the house outside. The rainwater was so heavy that some of it entered the house. Song Yusheng got up and closed the doors and windows himself. He said: "The rain is getting a bit heavy. Stay here and go back with me in the evening."
Wen Chu had already stood up and did not dare to refuse after hearing this. She agreed without thinking too much.
Song Yusheng stood in front of the mullioned window, looking at the continuous heavy rain outside the house through the gap in the window. He suddenly said: "I remember the day you left me behind, it also rained so hard."< br>
Wen Chu: .
She was speechless. More than a month had passed, why did she still say it? It's not over, right?
So she understood that it is better to mess with a gentleman than a villain. This Song Yusheng is a real villain. This kind of person is the most unacceptable. If you betray him once, he can nag him for the rest of his life. I'm afraid that when he dies in old age, he will suddenly think of this and scold her.
Song Yusheng did not want to delve deeper into this matter. After he finished speaking, he did not continue, but just turned to look at her.
"So now that you have seen clearly what kind of person I am, will you still run?"
His voice was as pure and clear as a sweet spring hitting a rock.
Wen Chu was stunned when he heard this.
Will you still run? In fact, he was asking her if she still dared to run.
He is like a madman. How can anything good happen if he stays next to a madman? How can she be willing to live by his side?
When Song Yusheng saw that she didn't answer, he laughed, walked towards her, and said, "After you sold me that day, I really wanted to kill you. But I thought, you are also my savior after all, even though you have always been You've been lying to me and you've always had plans for me, but I think you saved me and treated me well. If you really let me kill you, I still can't bear it."
If he doesn't kill her, why else? It's nothing more than a thought in the heart, and the heart can't bear it. He didn't know why this happened. Maybe it was because she had saved him? When everyone regarded him as dirty, she was the only one who came close to him, only she carried him on her back and took him home with her.
Although she abandoned him later, just like thousands of people who have abandoned him.
But he couldn't help it.
I couldn't help but have thoughts about her that I shouldn't have again and again. These thoughts made Song Yusheng feel strange and strange, but since the last time they did something like that in the clean room, , the emptiness was filled, the anxiety was soothed, and he and she seemed to merge into one.
But he later discovered that the person he was attracted to again and again seemed to be the only one from the beginning to the end, and she had never noticed it.
Wen Chu was so horrified by these words that she couldn't say a word. After she knew that she had betrayed Song Yusheng, he might have really wanted to kill her at that time, but when these words came out of his mouth When it came out, it was even more frightening.
Wen Chu watched him getting closer and closer to him and couldn't help but retreat.
Song Yusheng held her shoulders so that she could not retreat. He was very close to her, with that perfect face right in front of him.
It was such a banished appearance that made Wen Chu tremble with fear.
Seeing that she still refused to speak, he continued: "What are you afraid of? Don't be afraid. You will always stay by my side, right?"
Song Yusheng's hand touched her face; The tone was calm, but in Wen Chu's ears it sounded a little crazy.
The jade-white finger bones are like swords, which sting Wen Chu’s face when touched.
Wen Chu opened her mouth and was about to say something when she heard Song Yusheng say: "Don't say anything that makes me unhappy."
Obviously he was warning her.
It seemed that if she just said "no", he could really kill her today.
She has 30,000 days to live, and she doesn’t want to make any promise that she will never give up for the rest of her life, but what else can she say now? She saw that Song Yusheng's mood was not right, and she did not dare to offend him.
She spoke, her teeth chattering uncontrollably, "No, I can't."
Song Yusheng smiled with satisfaction, but still refused to let it go, "No, what?"< br>
Wen Chu didn’t know that Song Yusheng could be so thick-skinned and had to force her to say these words.
She gritted her teeth and said, "I will never leave the prince in my life."
That's weird.
Wen Chu can’t wait to get to June 30, the day of turning as mentioned in the hexagram.
She could hardly stand Song Yusheng, who made mistakes from time to time.
Song Yusheng’s thumb covered her lips. There was no evil desire, but he pressed it as if to warn, “Mother Chu, remember what you said today. If you are discovered, I will really .I really don’t know what I will do.”
The rain was particularly heavy today, and there was thunder and lightning. When Song Yusheng finished speaking, a bolt of lightning fell, and his face became even more gloomy and uncertain.
Wen Chu brushed his hand away and said dullly: "I know, don't say it anymore."
Song Yusheng didn't say anything more when he saw her like this. In short, he had warned her Passed her.
Song Yusheng went back to handle official duties, while Wen Chu sat on a chair nearby and waited for him. During this period, she was too bored. Seeing that Song Yusheng was busy with official duties, he had no time to care about her, so he simply lay down Slept on the table for a while.
She seemed to have been sleeping for a long time, during which she felt someone was hugging her, but it was really easy to sleep this afternoon, and besides, she had to get up so early every day. Now that her eyes are closed, she doesn’t know whether When did it close?
When he opened his eyes again, he found that he was already lying on the couch inside. This is a partition separated by a blue gauze cabinet. It is thought to be a place specially designed for Song Yusheng to rest.
Because there seems to be the smell of Song Yusheng on this cave.
Song Yusheng's clothes always carry a touch of sandalwood, which can only be smelled if you get close.
She thought of Song Yusheng, a man with severe mysophobia, and quickly got up to clean up the place, so as not to cause trouble again when he slept in the place.
As soon as Fang got up, she realized something was wrong.
She looked at her feet and found that even if her shoes were taken off, how come she also took off her footwear?
I think it was Song Yusheng who did it.
At this moment, perhaps Song Yusheng noticed her getting up and walked inside. He happened to see Wen Chu looking at his bare feet in a daze.
He said without changing his expression and his heart not beating: "Dirty footwear will stain the couch. You know, I have mysophobia."
Wen Chu said directly: "You If you dislike me so much, why would you want me to lie here? It's fine if I lie down on a chair and sleep." Even if the people of this dynasty are open and there are no exaggerated defenses between men and women, it is "sufficient" for women. It has always been something that only husbands can see, how could he do this.
Song Yusheng said coolly: "Why are you having such a big reaction? I didn't do anything. Besides, I've seen the places that should be seen and shouldn't be seen. You are really not that good to me. Cover it up, or do you still want to marry your husband? "
What if you really stay with him for the rest of your life and then be his maidservant for the rest of your life? Is he mentally ill, or is she mentally ill?
When Wen Chu heard him say these things about the wheel again, he ignored him and put on his own shoes and socks.
After getting off the ground, she didn't even think about making the bed. If he didn't like it, just dislike it. He insisted on getting her up here, and she didn't ask him to do it.
Fortunately, Song Yusheng didn't bother much about this matter, and the two of them walked out of the compartment one after another.
The sky has gradually darkened, and the rain outside is still falling, but it is lighter than before.
Song Yusheng's matter was almost settled, and the two returned to the Song Mansion.
*
On the other side of Chengde Hall, Qi Ziyuan’s mother, Mrs. Qi, and Mrs. Song were sitting together chatting.
Because last time Song Liqing deliberately said that she was interested in Qi Ziyuan just to get angry with Song Lide, Mrs. Song took it seriously and directly sent a message to invite Qi Ziyuan's mother to visit her.
We arrived at noon. Originally, Mrs. Song had set up a stage in the garden to invite her to watch a play. However, she was disrupted by the sudden heavy rain, and Mrs. Qi was also trapped by the heavy rain. In the Song Mansion.
Ladies from high families also often gather together. Just as all kinds of banquets are hosted by the matrons, it is natural that the ladies of the nobility inevitably interact with each other. Mrs. Song and Mrs. Qi had met several times at banquets before, and they were quite able to talk to each other.
Otherwise, if he had never met or said a word to him, Dr. Song would be embarrassed to call someone to the door directly.
The two ladies are both first-grade royal wives, and they have a lot of common topics. It is a pleasure to sit together on the main seat and chat together. It's a pity that Song Liqing, who was sitting next to her, listened to their words, and they regretted to death what they said that day just to show off their quick words.
If she had known what happened today, she would never have said anything good about Qi Ziyuan.
Mrs. Qi would also mention Song Liqing from time to time and ask her to talk with her. Song Liqing was afraid that if she showed any immodest behavior, she would be scolded by her mother, so she stayed here all afternoon. He nodded and smiled from time to time when Mrs. Qi mentioned her.
The two ladies both had one thing on their mind, and that was the marriage of their son.
Mrs. Song said: "Listen to this, can anyone believe it if I tell it to you? My child is already twenty-two years old, and he still refuses to say goodbye. When he talks about it, he directly How can a mother not be anxious when she hides from me?"
Mrs. Qi also mentioned this topic. It was quite late to meet each other. The two ladies held each other's hands with tears in their eyes. Mrs. Qi said: "Yes, how can we not be in a hurry! At the age of other young masters, their children can even write and run away. In my family, There are only two sons. The older one makes me worry less, but the younger one won’t listen no matter what I say!”
Song Liqing was listening nearby and thought that Mrs. Qi was exaggerating a bit. Even if she married a wife and had children at the age of eighteen, she wouldn't just run away just saying she could write.
"Who said? No, but at least you still have an eldest son to save your worries. My little daughter, She has always been restless. I have never seen her praise anyone. Even her brother is not on the stage in her mouth. That day alone, she talked about General Qi. "Mrs. Song wanted to talk about Song Liqing." He was afraid that she would be shy about the matter, so he specially whispered in Mrs. Qi's ear.
Mrs. Song told Mrs. Qi what Song Liqing said that day.
In fact, Mrs. Qi understood what Mrs. Song was thinking as early as when she called her to come to listen to the play. When she heard Mrs. Song say this, she understood the whole story. It turned out that Song Liqing praised her son a few times, which made the eldest lady a little distracted.
The Song family has a high family status, and besides, it is a Qingliu family. It would be great if we could really marry the Song family.
"Okay, very good. I think Li Qing likes this kid very much. If Li Qing has his heart, it would be great!" Mrs. Qi suddenly thought of something and continued: "Oh, look, today is You asked me to come to your house to watch a play, but for some reason I shed tears. I couldn’t watch a few of them. So, if it’s better to spend some time, my guy will be in the suburbs of Beijing. There is a polo match, please bring some courtesy and Qi'an."
Mrs. Song asked: "What time is it? If Qi'an is in Xiu Mu, I will take him with me. "Go."
Mrs. Qi said: "It will be around June 30!"
The two of them talked about this, and the rain outside happened to stop, so Mrs. Qi left. Song Mansion.
After Mrs. Qi left, Song Liqing hurriedly said to the eldest lady: "Mother! What I said last time was just to make Song Lide angry. How can I take it seriously!"
The eldest lady glanced at her indifferently and said, "Now that I have made an agreement with Mrs. Qi, what else can I do? Besides, are you really willing to have Song Lide marry General Qi? You can see her, Can you feel comfortable?”
Song Liqing’s eyes were filled with laughter after hearing these words. With her eyes widened, she retorted: "Then what can I do if I'm not willing to give in? Just a little chat, it can really make me and Qi Ziyuan say we can't get married."
Song Liqing again Not stupid, but he didn't get involved just to get angry with Song Li De.
But how could Mrs. Song listen to her? Both ladies had their own evaluations and considerations. Mrs. Qi thought Song Li was in good taste, and Mrs. Song was also fond of Qi Ziyuan. Kuang Qi’s family was the royal family. If the Crown Prince ascends the throne in the future, the Qi family will naturally follow suit.
She didn't care what Song Liqing thought at all, she just said: "Anyway, just be honest and do it. If you don't worry about your marriage, I, as a mother, will naturally keep an eye on it for you. Don't look at it either. If you don't care about this, you can't look down on that. Qi Ziyuan is much better than those young men in Kyoto. You can't see any other tricks. "
*
After Mrs. Qi returned home, Qi Ziyuan was already waiting for her. Just as she crossed the hanging flower door, she saw Qi Ziyuan's figure.
Qi Ziyuan hurriedly stepped forward and asked: "How is mother, did you invite them to the polo match?"
Qi Ziyuan has always wanted to see Wen Chu again, but now she is in the Song family, no matter what No matter what he does, he can't cause any trouble in the Song family. If so, he might as well find a way to get people to come to the Qi family. After he learned that Mrs. Qi was invited to visit by Mrs. Song today, he thought of a way to invite them to the Qi family's territory to play polo. Then he would naturally find a way to see her.
Mrs. Qi didn’t know why he was so concerned about this matter. He was so anxious that he came to arrest her right here. She thought about it and came to a conclusion. After thinking about it, she was a little surprised. He looked at Qi Ziyuan and said: "You have let her go now?! Could it be that you are also interested in Miss Song San now?"
Otherwise, why would he be so eager to invite them to his door?
She was still worried. Even if Song Liqing was interested in her son, but her son was a dull man, she might still miss the dead person. At first, Mrs. Qi was afraid that he would not understand. Now if he was interested, it would be a coincidence.
Qi Ziyuan didn't know why his mother thought of this, but he didn't refute it. If she really thinks so, she can have more contact with the Song family when the time comes, so that he might have the opportunity to see Xiao Xi again.
His rebuttal words were swallowed up like this. Mrs. Qi was even more overjoyed when she saw this. She was filled with joy that her son's marriage could finally be settled.
*
It rained continuously for ten days that day, and the continuous summer rain made Kyoto even hotter.
The second day after the summer solstice was a cloudless and sunny day. The rain finally stopped today, and the entire courtyard of Yuhuitang exuded a fresh smell after the rain.
Song Yusheng took the Yun brocade that he had brought back from the palace a few days ago and used it to make a set of clothes for the two maids. Today, the clothes maker just delivered the clothes to the door.
Wen Chuben and Chen Xiang were sitting in the yard chatting when they saw the guard at the door bringing two sets of clothes.
The complicated dark patterns on the brocade shone in the sunlight. When Wen Chu touched the clothes, the material was naturally indescribably comfortable.
She sighed: "Chenxiang, as your master, this maid is still treated like this, even Yun brocade can be worn."
Chen Xiang also likes this Yun brocade tightly, but she also understands that this fabric is They came as tribute from the south of the Yangtze River, and even the concubines might not be able to wear them. Although the prince had never treated them harshly and was generous to servants like them, he was not so generous as to wear brocade for his maids.
I also knew that this time I was in her favor.
Obviously, Chen Xiang only thought about this in his heart, and only casually agreed with what Wen Chu said on his face.
After the two got their clothes, they went back to the house to put them away. Wen Chu didn’t understand. It was already June 22, and it was only eight days until the end of the month. No, what exactly is the thirtieth day?
She has prepared everything here, and her luggage has been hidden in the cabinet untouched.
Everything is ready, all we need is the east wind.
She just thought that there were secret guards watching her in the dark all the time. Every move she made might arouse their suspicion. If so, she must be cautious and cautious, otherwise she would miss a move. You may fall into a place of eternal destruction.
When she didn't see Song Yusheng's face clearly before, she wasn't like this now, caring so much and running away whenever she wanted. But now she can see clearly that Song Yusheng is a kind and gentle person on the surface, but he can stab you in the back and still smile and watch you die.
Besides, she said those disgusting words again under his coercion that day, about never being separated for the rest of their lives. Song Yusheng was so narrow-minded that he might remember these words until his death.
Wen Chu hid in her room again after lunch. She didn't dare to go anywhere else in Yuhui Hall. She only dared to stay in her room, or else she would go to the yard to chat with Chenxiang.
Besides, there are not many things left.
Just staying here for a month gave Wen Chu the feeling that his life was about to end.
An afternoon passed quickly like this again. In the evening, just when Song Yusheng was about to go on duty, someone came to Yuhuitang.
It is the cousin of the Song Dynasty, Huang Ruotang.
Wen Chu thought that Song Yusheng was about to leave, so he and Chen Xiang waited in the yard. However, before Song Yusheng came back, he heard a woman crying from the door.
The two of them looked at each other and saw that it was Song Yusheng's cousin.
I saw her crying so hard that she was very sad. Wen Chu and Chen Xiang looked at each other with confusion in their eyes.
However, although they didn't know what happened, when they saw someone coming to Yuhui Hall, they figured they were here to look for Song Yusheng. Wen Chu thought that Huang Ruotang and Song Yusheng had a good relationship, so he didn't dare to leave the person alone at the door. Seeing her crying so sadly, he hurried to welcome the person in.
The guard at the door wanted to stop him, but Wen Chu leaned over and whispered: "Your master has a good relationship with this cousin. If you stop her from entering, you will die!"
The guards were only responsible for business matters. Song Yusheng had ordered that outsiders were not allowed to enter Yuhui Hall, and this young lady was no exception.
But he hesitated for a moment when he heard Wen Chu's words. The cousin was crying so sadly. What if something really happened?
The guard was in a dilemma for a moment, not knowing what to do. Fortunately, at this time, Song Yusheng came back.
Huang Ruotang first said "Thank you, girl" to Wen Chu, then moved to Song Yusheng, saluted, and she called: "Cousin."
Her voice seemed to be trembling from crying.
Her long eyelashes were covered with tears, as beautiful as hibiscus. After meeting Song Yusheng, she seemed not to want to worry anyone. She swallowed her grievances back and wiped her tears with a handkerchief, but the tears seemed to stop no matter what. The same thing kept flowing out from the eyes that were red and swollen from crying, with crystal tears hanging from the corners of the eyes, like beautiful jade radiating light.
Every move he made was extremely beautiful, even Wen Chu felt a little heartbroken when he looked at her from the side.
Song Yusheng looked at Huang Ruotang who was crying sadly, and asked warmly: "Why is my cousin so sad? Come in and tell me if you have anything to say."
Huang Ruotang bit his lip and raised his head slightly. He looked at Song Yusheng, then nodded.
She calculated that this direction would best show her weakness and beauty. She was very confident in her appearance and didn't believe any man could escape such means.
But Song Yusheng didn't even look at her. After saying this, he went straight inside, only glancing at Wen Chu when he passed by.
Wen Chu didn’t know what he had done again. It must have offended him, otherwise he would be inexplicably watching what she did?
She didn’t think much, recovered her senses and quickly followed.
On Huang Ruotang's side, she never thought that Song Yusheng would not even look at her. She was distracted for a moment and unconsciously used force on her mouth, even her lip was bitten.
The smell of blood brought her back to consciousness for a moment, but she felt a little discouraged.
It was always like this, no matter how coquettish and pretentious she was in front of him, she couldn't make him look at her differently. Although he treats me kindly, maybe it's just because she is his cousin, or maybe it's because he is like this and treats everyone like this.
She could feel that when Song Yu was born to her, there was never any so-called love between a man and a woman.
But she is not willing to give in. She is so close to him, how can she be willing to give in.
When she cried like this in front of him, he didn't even look at her. And even if the little maid was standing there, he would turn his head to look.
Obviously she is his cousin, they have known each other since they were young.
how so?
When she saw the person walking inside, she stopped thinking about it and hurriedly followed him.
