Red makeup against the world

Chapter 429

"Later, when we got engaged, elder brother teased me and said that he would marry the younger brother of the Sun family as a wife. Do you know how happy I am?"

"The silk fan, Kongming lock, bead hairpin, pen stand, and these little gifts you sent me. I read and looked at them, and then carefully put them in the box and locked them. I put the box next to the pillow every night to accompany me to sleep. .”

"One year during the Dragon Boat Festival, our two families went out to watch the dragon boat. You were afraid that you would squeeze me, and you kept protecting me, but you were stepped on several times."

"I have thought about it countless times. After marrying you, I must live a good life serving my parents-in-law, husband and son. For this reason, I practiced my embroidery skills hard, just so that in the future, I can make all the clothes, shoes and socks you wear be my own. Sewn by hand."

"..."

One by one, there is their beautiful past, as well as Xu Wanzhen's longing for the future.Xu Wanzhen didn't know whether it was she who said these words, or the soul dormant in her body.

In her low voice, those beautiful times of childhood sweethearts flowed through their hearts like running water.From the yellowing memories of the two of them, it gradually came alive.

Her tone was like a dream, but as she narrated, two lines of tears fell unconsciously on the faces of the two of them.

However, how did good fortune make people become what they are today?
Once, it was so beautiful; now, it is so far away.

Looking at each other, Xu Wanzhen understood the affection and bitterness in his eyes, and Sun Zhitao also saw the fading of affection in her eyes, leaving only sympathy and pity.

Xu Wanzhen's tone was bleak, and said: "Now, I don't say who is sorry, I can only blame good luck."

"Just, I beg you, don't suffer yourself for this anymore. You should have a bright future and a beautiful family like a flower. I don't want to be this sinner."

Her voice was full of alienation, Sun Zhitao only felt mixed tastes in his heart, and his mouth was full of bitterness.

Pictures flashed in my mind, they were beautiful in the past.From the childhood childhood sweetheart, to the deep-rooted love in the youth.

Until the day when the surprise changed, the heart-piercing pain of retiring the engagement took her far away from his life.

How could he accept his fate?He didn't want to obey his parents' arrangement, and he stubbornly resisted the family law, just to grasp the illusory hope.After a lot of trouble, her father and brother were released from prison, and her father was finally relieved, so he came to the capital with hope, looking for a glimmer of life between the two of them, and continuing their relationship.

The ecstasy when he was approved by Mr. Tu Shan, the disappointment when he was rejected by the Xu family, and the despair when he learned from Xu Wenmin that there was no hope. Such sorrow and joy finally knocked him down.However, he never thought that it would make her so difficult.

Xu Wanzhen looked at him, and recalled: "I still remember, when you were 12 years old, you made a vow at Guangren Temple to cleanse the officials and protect each other, and return the common people to a clear sky. What an amazing ambition, you have forgotten all of this ?"

"No, this is my ambition, how dare I forget it?" Sun Zhitao murmured.

"I hope you will live a good life, for your parents and teachers, and for the common people." Xu Wanzhen paused, "Can you promise me?"

Sun Zhitao smiled shyly, and said, "Since this is your wish, I will naturally help you realize it. Ever since I was a child, when have I ever rejected you? How can I not agree to you?"

How could you not agree?
His tone contained infinite desolation and depression.

Xu Wan's heart felt sore, and a bean-sized teardrop fell on the table with a "click" and splashed.

Sun Zhitao looked at the tears steadily, his expression gradually became firmer, and said, "From now on, I will not let you cry for me again. Next year, I will definitely pass the Juren exam, and I won't embarrass you again."

Xu Wanzhen nodded lightly, whether it was her in the past or the present, she couldn't bear to see him live a decadent life.

Concealing the bitterness in her heart, she said softly: "You and I will have nothing to do in the future, but Young Master Sun please remember today's promise."

Sun Zhitao sighed: "Since I promised you, I will definitely not break my promise." I want to make myself stronger, no matter who you marry in the future, I will silently protect you.He swore secretly in his heart.

Xu Wanzhen got up, without saying goodbye, and walked out of the room slowly.

Both of them knew in their hearts that they would never see each other again.Saying goodbye just adds to the sadness.

Sun Zhitao sat in his original position, watched her go out of the room, watched her gradually go away, and her graceful back finally disappeared.

The send-off at Suzhou Wharf may be the wrong start.This time the parting cut off the affection abruptly, and there was pain and sourness in his heart, but more, it was his promise to her.

After a long silence, he said, "Mo Zhu, let's go back."

He stood up, although he was still thin, there was determination in his eyes.Added a proud and iron frame to his refined temperament.

Seeing such a young master, Mo Zhu had tears in his eyes, and felt infinitely grateful to Xu Wanzhen, walked to the door, knelt down on the ground and kowtowed three times to Xu Wanzhen, before leaving with Sun Zhitao.

It was the Sun family who retired first, so Xu Wanzhen could do nothing about it.But she not only came, but also rekindled the young master's fighting spirit.How can this make him not grateful?

……

Pingguo Mansion, the back house.

Liu Qilan brought food boxes as usual, Liu Qiran ate to her heart's content, while she sat in front of the desk, flipping through the picture album in her hand.

Liu Qiran stuffed food into his mouth, still not forgetting to tease her, and said: "Sister, how about it? I have a crush on a young gentleman, let the elder brother tie him up."

Liu Qilan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said, "Brother, eat well first. If you eat like this, you should be punished if your father sees you! You even tied me here, and you think I'm the king of the mountain!"

"Hey." Liu Qiran swallowed the food in his mouth, and said impressively: "Isn't it the most straightforward to be tied up! My sister is a fairy-like character, and she can cook good dishes. Whoever you fancy is a blessing."

Liu Qilan put down the booklet in her hand, ignored him, closed her eyes and meditated.

This booklet is full of young talents in the capital at the moment, each with their own merits, it can be seen that the eldest brother searched with all his heart.However, families, family backgrounds, and personalities are all different, so choosing a husband and son-in-law is not that simple.

After a long while, she asked, "Fan Bin, have you met brother?"

"Of course I've seen it before. My sister has a good eye. You must know that there are many people in Beijing who are trying to get his ideas, but he rejected them all." Liu Qiran finished his meal and rinsed his mouth.

"He came to the capital in the old year, won the first prize in the martial arts examination, and was named the captain of Guoyi in Zhechong Prefecture. The young man's heroism has broken countless hearts." Liu Qiran squinted at her and said: "This is a tough bone, are you sure?" Want him?"

After listening to him, Liu Qilan not only didn't flinch in any way, her eyes were blazing with fire, she smiled lightly, and said, "It's difficult, it's interesting, and it's worthy of me."

"But I heard that Fan Bin fell in love with Miss Xu's family at first sight. The King of Qi asked Mrs. Zhu to come to ask for marriage again and again, but Xu's family refused on the grounds that he was still in the filial piety period. There is someone in his heart, how did you fight?"

"Miss Xu, is Mrs. Zhuang's adoptive daughter?"

"It's her." Liu Qiran replied, speaking of it, she was an acquaintance.

At the Peony Flower Festival, Wang Miaoyan drugged him. If Xu Wan was not really clever, he would have already stained his innocence.Later, I heard Shi Jingze talk about her self-saving process, which made him, a man, admire him very much.

Later, it was she who told him that Wang Miaoyan was the culprit, and then she took revenge on Wang Miaoyan.
