box of hearts

Chapter 98
Die Xian smiled contemptuously, "You two young girls are still dreaming! What are our identities? Even the famous sister Qing Tian was humiliated by this stinky woman pointing her nose at the beginning? Scold her a few words, in this life, it is rare for so many people to watch a prostitute openly insult a lady."

Duixia took a long sip of tea, smiled at Zhaohua and Fengqin: "Don't get me wrong, the person who pointed at us next to us is most likely asking for the name of the butterfly fairy. , just wait and see, Huai Ya Tang will have a prosperous business tonight. If mother asks, she will say that it is all thanks to Die Xian, 'When the wind stands, the respondent gathers'!"

Several people laughed together again, Grandma Qiu on the singing stage was pushed down at some point, as if an insignificant supporting role was ruthlessly and quickly hidden from a book.

In the twinkling of an eye, the sun is setting and the trees are reflecting.The business on the stage is still going on, but the upstairs has lost interest, settled the tea account, and drove all the way back to Huaihua Hutong.The second sister Duan also seemed to have just entered the door, and she happily pulled the three little girls and pointed them out for people to see.The girls are all about eight or nine years old, and they are all beauties. Although the clothes on their bodies are dirty and old, the materials are either cloud brocade or cloud silk.

Zhaohua and Fengqin went to hold their little hands and tried to ask a few words, Diexian only put on an indifferent face, and praised Xia Ze a few words, "Mom, why don't you accept the gift?" Go up and ask Sister Qingtian to take a look? Maybe you can tell her about the excitement this afternoon and relieve your boredom."

"Oh, don't mention it, don't bother her, let her rest well." Second Sister Duan immediately looked distressed, "I've been lying down since last month until today, and my throat is useless due to coughing. After a while, the heat came up again."

"What?" All the women were startled, and you and I became confused.

"It was fine in the afternoon, why did you have a fever in a blink of an eye?"

"That's right, my sister's body has always been healthy and healthy, and she never suffers from any headaches. Why is it that she hasn't improved after being ill for so long?"

"That quack doctor must be useless, change it as soon as possible."

"Oh, it's broken!"

"what's wrong?"

"I'm afraid, tsk, don't be..."

"Oh, what's the matter, you say it out loud."

Yuxia rubbed her hands in embarrassment, "I'm afraid my sister has a heart disease. Didn't the surname Qiao say that she will formally marry Miss Zhang Shilang this month? It seems to be today, and I'm afraid she is serving guests with wine. Although we are all keeping it a secret, maybe my sister will find out somewhere—"

"Don't mention him!" Second Sister Duan raised her eyebrows and yelled loudly, then bit her back teeth and let out a long breath, "No one is allowed to mention that wolf-hearted thing again. Qing girl only fell asleep after taking medicine for a while. Stop quarreling with her, and go back to your room. Uncle Jiu!" She turned around and swept her sleeves, and the wind swept over the three frightened and ignorant little faces behind her, "Take them all down for a bath. Change into clothes, and bring them to the luthier tomorrow morning."

Just at this time, an extremely passionate shout came from the outfield, like thunder after a long drought, "Guest—come—!"

Second Sister Duan crossed her waist and stared round her eyes, "Hey, where is the sacred place?"

Everyone laughed and pushed Die Xian to the front with several hands, "Mom, you only ask her."

It was Du Kesong, the second son of the magistrate who picked up the fan, and he brought three or four close friends. When asked, this is the nephew of the general soldier, and that is the uncle of the Marquis.Second Sister Duan has not seen these many distinguished guests for a long time, she is very attentive.Diexian, Duixia and Fengqin have experienced many battles, and Zhaohua has the reputation of "little leader". The four of them paid a round of tea, offered melon seeds, talked and laughed for a long time, and coaxed the young masters and brothers It's cloudy and foggy, and I'm going to put a wine here immediately.Huai Ya Tang, who has been lonely for a while, finally once again sings and dances, silk and bamboo together, and the moon is full and there is no night in the world.

The sound of music drifted into the night with the wind, and floated into an embroidered tent.Qingtian was in the tent with her eyes closed, a wet towel on her forehead, her cheeks were red, and her lips were dry and burnt. She could hear clearly in her ears, but she was in a daze in her heart, as if it was the joy of someone's marriage.Countless formless gray and fine dust rose from the music, and gradually transformed into another space.

3.
Here, the line of sight is at the angle of depression, and below it are two hands with fingertips facing each other. The palms of the hands are slightly arched to caress the brow bone, the top of the forehead, and to the bun, and then tidy up the hair that is already neatly cut.The forehead has a natural flower tip, pointing directly to the center of the eyebrows and the towering nose root vacated by the bushy brows.The eyelids trembled twice, lifted gracefully, and looked straight ahead.

Qiao Yunze, looking at Qiao Yunze in the mirror.

The facial features are finely crafted, the body is tall and tall, and what is even more outstanding is the noble temperament of the whole body. People will say that even a prince will not look more noble.It is a narcissus that grows in the desert where only cacti can survive. People who are born of different species will understand how difficult it is for a prince who needs to grow up in a slum.

Fights have been going on for as long as I can remember, fists and slaps, insults and growls.Qiao Yun knew that the only reason for his father's attack was that he was so strong that he didn't need a reason, just hit if he wanted to.After eating well, the bowl flew over, and the first half of the sentence and the second half of the sentence were connected by a messy stick.The mother is always hunched over, protecting her young child while being beaten like a rice sack.Qiao Yunze will never forget that day, when he was eight years old, he finally rushed out of his mother's arms and gave that man a blow.He understands, but he forgot that you are not qualified to reason before you have no strength.He was thrown out of the house, knocked on the door hysterically, and heard his mother's screaming screams, which finally turned into a dead silence.On the third day, the mother got out of bed, giggled, and lay naked in the muddy water at the street corner. The boy cried and dragged him, but the mother just laughed.Not long after, all his playmates ignored him and called him "crazy" behind his back.And when the father caught the naked mother back from the outside again and again and beat him harder, the boy shrank in the corner and stopped coming forward.When his mother was finally beaten to death, he was already nine years old, squatting in a place where no one could find him, crying all day and night without eating or drinking.He hated himself so much, hated himself for wishing for his mother's death in the most secret place of his heart. He would rather have that beautiful woman with tears in her eyes than a carefree and naked crazy woman.It was because of his longing that the mother died.In winter, the boy's tears soaked through the whole cotton-padded clothes and turned into ice.

In the second winter after that, he accompanied his father to a distant relative's house for dinner, and when returning at night, he took a shortcut across a lake that had just frozen.As a result, the ice surface cracked in the middle of the trip. He lightly jumped back and stood firm. The half-drunk father fell into the ice water and screamed wildly.He grabbed a branch, handed it halfway, and then retracted it, seeing the man's constricted hand being swallowed by the moonlit lake.

In this way, in Qiao Yunze's memory, there is always a child standing in the depths of the night and by the shallow water, with his eyes open without blinking. His eyes are dark and dirty, like charcoal, and no one will want to touch them. He himself doesn't, because he will get dirty if he touches it.But it is not impossible to solve all this, the solution is even quite simple, as long as a little light ignites the two charcoals, everyone will be attracted by the warmth and light in their eyes, and moths will come closer to him.Brighten the eyes as you like, which is the secret to a narcissus growing out of the desert.And this matter has never been easier than today, the charcoal fire is everywhere, and even the body is red.So when the door slammed, there was still a vicious old boy standing in the mirror, but outside the mirror, he turned into a handsome young man with excellent temperament.With warm eyes, he bowed to the ground, "Master Taishan."

Zhang Yanshu, the servant of the Ministry of Rites, stood in front of the door, looked at Qiao Yunze, who was wearing a ceremonial robe in front of the dressing mirror, from head to toe, nodded and twisted his beard, "This old man is over sixty years old and has only one daughter under his knees. Years ago, for my little daughter's lifelong event, I chose three talented people who were born in a poor family but had great ambitions. The little girl looked at each other from behind the screen window and picked you. The appointment period is over today, and the big gift will be fulfilled. "Shuowen Jiezi" has a cloud: "Supplementary, with material money, from Aobei, Ao is still let go, and it should be taken again." Supplementary marriage means that the man takes his body as a pledge. From Qin Wang's sweep of Liuhe to some In the Tang Dynasty, a son-in-law was equal to a sinful official and a dead person. According to the old customs, the surname should be discarded and changed into the genealogy of the woman's family. The marriage ceremony of the son-in-law should also be greeted by the bride's sedan chair. But the old man ordered in advance The little girl moved to her uncle's house, and you will welcome her back in a sedan chair. The dowry will be played and the deacons will be played. All the etiquette is the same as a marriage. Can you understand the deep meaning of this old man?"

Qiao Yun smiled modestly, and there was a fragrance of wild water chestnut leaves on the edge of the pool, "Miss chooses the servant, it is the fate between the lady and the servant; Lao Taishan honors the servant, it is Lao Taishan's love for the servant." En. The so-called repayment of kindness means that if you want to repay the great kindness of Lao Taishan, I think that the best way is to cherish the fate with the young lady. The servant wishes to have a good relationship with the young lady forever, and there is no other plan in his life. "

Zhang Yanshu smiled with satisfaction, and patted Qiao Yunze on the shoulder, "My son-in-law. The auspicious time has come, let's go."

The main hall of the mansion is decorated with colorful screens, red carpets on the ground, embroidered flat gold tables, curtains and chairs, and various seasonal flowers and bonsai, all shrouded in the crimson light of lanterns and red candles in the sky.Joy is loud, and the sound of guns shakes the ground.Among the crowds of people, Qiao Yun held Zhang Ruijiao, Miss Zhang Ruijiao at the other end of the flower knot, the lady he had never seen clearly, his wife.
