box of hearts

Chapter 83
Die Xian Shan just waved his fan in a grand manner, "I know my sister has good intentions, but these words are unnecessary, just rest assured, we did not stay in Huai Ya Tang for nothing since we were young. Oh, after talking for a long time, It's already past noon. To Xia, we have to go back to our room, I'm afraid they will wake up too."

Dui Xia then stood up and tugged at the skirt, "Sister, we'll talk to you later, those two stayed here yesterday, we have to go back to serve. Feng Qin, will you come back? "

"I won't go back." Fengqin tilted her head and smiled at Qingtian, "I'll stay and eat with my sister."

"Yo, I'm a vegetarian, it's your fault. Mu Yun, go tell the kitchen to make two more of Fengqin girl's favorite dishes and send them here." Qingtian gave orders and went out After a few steps, I saw Duoxia and Diexian fluttering and walking away hand in hand.It was a full sun, and the red sky rose to the mid-heaven.

She looked at it thoughtfully, then covered the sunlight with her hands, and retreated into the shadows.

5.
When Duixia returned to the room, Sun Xiaocai was already up, sitting on the edge of the bed with his legs crossed, being served by two maids, smoking.He was born with a square head and square ears, white and fat, with a good beard, and he looked like a high-ranking official.After asking Xia and him a few words, he dismissed the servant girl, held the smoking pot for Sun Xiaocai himself, and grabbed a strand of his beard with a smile, "Hey, did you prepare for the redemption for me?"

As soon as the words fell, Sun Xiaocai choked on the smoke, and suddenly coughed loudly.Dui Xia hurriedly helped him beat his back and stroked his chest. He also patted his chest twice, but he was still a little asthmatic and said: "Xia, we have been friends for so many years. I don't want to talk about things in person because I'm afraid it will hurt you." You can't get off the stage, but you keep asking me so hard, I have to give you an explanation."

Only after hearing this half of the speech, Xiangxia couldn't help covering her face with frost, while the other half of the speech had already been uttered mercilessly from Sun Xiaocai's mouth: "I also know my reputation in the hall, they say I am stingy, picky Suo, but let me tell you, I was not like this when I was young. Ever since I was elected, I have been messing around among the flowers and willows. At that time, there were many good friends with me, and they all pestered me to make vows. The words of love are like a series of cannonballs. I only took these words seriously at the time, and paid for all the furniture to marry them in. Who would have thought that they would be white one by one, not because their parents would not , The old bustard is unwilling, that is to say, the family is too tired and the deficit is too great. After three or five years of trouble, none of the ladies who are close to each other have been married. , It's just a casual talk, if the guests want to take it seriously, it will be a bad luck for themselves. I am almost fifty this year, and we are so close, why do we have to talk about marriage like those children? Don’t talk about not being successful, just marrying successfully, in case you feel unsatisfactory after marrying me, it would be inappropriate to make a fuss at that time. Therefore, in my opinion, let’s discuss this matter in the long run. "

Although Dui Xia expected to have some dealings with Sun Xiaocai, but he didn't expect him to throw out such a vicious talk directly, so he might as well rush to the door angrily, turn his back and shed tears.Sun Xiaocai reached out and turned her face away, but seeing the rouge stained with tears, he admitted his mistake in a harmonious voice: "I spoke too hastily, it was my fault, so I have to ask you to bear with me."

Xiangxia pulled out an acacia pink handkerchief, lowered her head and wiped away tears, "I only blame myself for being shameless, and I am not a celebrity like Sister Qingtian and Sister Zhaohua, dare to say 'marry'? No one wants to send it to my door." .”

Sun Xiaocai leaned forward and put the smoking set on the high table next to the bed, "You are out of temper. Although you say 'marry a wife and virtue, marry a concubine and sex', I still want her when I get home. If you want to be sincere, otherwise, if you are greedy, how much will you be able to linger outside? To tell you the truth, even if your Huakui sister Duan Qingtian wants to marry me today, if she treats me dishonestly, I will not be willing."

Hearing these words, Xiangxia had a slight change, her heart turned rapidly, and her face became more and more weeping, "I was also the daughter of a serious family, and I was sold into the hall only because my father was fond of gambling. I am 12 years old. I started doing business at the age of [-], and today there are ten or eight good friends, but none of these people is my own choice, but what can I do with this bowl of rice? I only saw it four years ago You, I can't let it go anymore. If you don't come one day, I feel like something is missing in my heart. I feel uncomfortable all over the place. I have never thought about other guests like this again. What is the reason for it? I can’t tell, I guess it’s related to your previous life. I didn’t say this, but you said it yourself. You are not generous, except for the money for the show, your private subsidies are very limited. You only shoot Thinking about it, besides this furniture and those emerald heads, what other big things have you bought for me in the past few years? But I am close to you, so I don’t want these things, I just ask you to remember me more or less in your heart, Make me dependable for life. It's fine if you don't think about me, but you actually say that I am one of those unscrupulous courtesans who use marriage to rip off, how can I not be hurt, how can I not complain?"

Sun Xiaocai put his arms around Xiangxia's plump body, and sighed thinly: "If you want to complain, you can only blame us for meeting each other too late. Your words were put back ten years ago, and I will marry you even if I do nothing. It's a pity that I have heard people say the same thing as you thousands of times, and I can't believe it anymore. Even if you are sincere, you can only pretend to be a fool." A flash of light flashed across his mature face. A trace of boredom that was almost melancholy, looked directly at him, "Xia, I am willing to tell you this frankly, and I have treated you well. I hope you don't think too much about it. Wouldn't it be nice for us to be the same as before?" ?”

Yuxia wept silently, and for a long time, leaned his head on Sun Xiaocai's shoulder, "You've said that, so I don't want to say anything to embarrass you. Since I treat you sincerely, as long as you feel good, I don't care what I do. .”

When Sun Xiaocai saw that Xiangxia was so sensible, he felt even more pitiful, stroked her back, and kissed her temple, "I'm going to play cards here later? In this way, I will put another one at night. Wine, hang up both tables for you, lest you always call me stingy."

Duixia laughed, and punched Sun Xiaocai's thigh, "Damn it! I'm doing this to ask you for brand wine?" Her tone was delicate and soft, as soft as a woman's waist; but in her eyes But in the depths, there is a trace of resentment and hardness, as hard as a woman's heart.

In Sun Xiaocai's arms, she rolled her eyes twice, thinking about it for a moment.With a smile, she broke free, walked a few steps to the door, and called "Lan Rui, Lan Rui" twice.A sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl with sharp features stepped forward, "What's the matter, girl?"

He leaned against Xia and talked to Lanrui in a long and quick word.Lan Rui's expression changed slightly, and at the end, she glanced at Sun Xiaocai inside, nodded to Xiangxia and said, "Understood, don't worry, girl."

Dui Xia raised her voice again, pointing her hand away, "Master Sun is going to put up cards in the east hall this afternoon, and the guests will arrive soon, so go and ask them to get ready."

"Yes." Lan Rui also responded with a high voice, and opened the curtains.

Across the corridor, Die Xian had already returned to her room, bursts of laughter could be heard in the room.

Behind the flower curtain of the twig parrot, sitting beside a small round table carved with lacquer and lacquer, is a young man about 25 years old. He said: "It's just right, I also said that this person is a very thief, you should not be close friends." With a slight Henan accent, he was the son of a wealthy family in Yuzhou——Cao Zhimu.

Diexian sat leaning aside, with emerald brows and bright eyes, she put her finger on Cao Zhimu's inner wrist and stroked it gently, "That's to say, I heard that he not only cheated his friends with thousands of silver, And once upon a time, there was a good friend who kept saying that she wanted to marry someone back home, so that everyone around her would call her "Aunt and Grandma", but in the end she left without paying any money for the redemption, but left a lot of debts called "Auntie". An aunt sells herself to pay him back, do you think there are such shameless people?"

Cao Zhimu shot the case, "It's really shameless. If it were me, I would rather sell myself to pay off my aunt's debt."

Die Xian shoved him with a smile, "I don't need you to pay the debt for me, just redeeming my body for me will be a great good man."

Cao Zhimu was passing the spoon to his mouth, but he put it back into the bowl, and even put down the bowl, "Why, did you really mean it when you said you wanted to marry me?"

Die Xian turned her eyes upside down, "Why, you promised to marry me, but it was a fake?"

Cao Zhimu didn't show any anxiety, and looked at her with a smile, "It's not true, I have been running business for my family in recent years, and when I come and go, I usually live in the hall. The makeup fan is also considered rough and appreciative. I always feel that being a shepherd, whether from the south or the north, has an ordinary temperament. He entertains guests all day long. His body is used to being busy, and his heart is used to being scattered. If married If you are stuck at home and have nothing to do all day, you will always feel bored, and your heart will become even more irritable. If you bump into a romantic boy, you will not be able to keep from doing such unscrupulous things. That's why many famous prostitutes are married. People, within a year and a half, they may be kicked out, or a scandal of their own begging will arise. I think it is good if we have a good relationship between you and me, but when it comes to the word "marriage", you should not do it recklessly. "
