Nirvana In Fire - Chapter 108
After discussing the suspension, the two sisters and sisters stopped sitting more, got up after the meeting, and were preparing to break up.
It was at this time that Su Zhaijiao’s door suddenly opened again, and a green cloth-edged little sedan was lifted.
Qin Banruo recognized that it was the sedan that Mei Changsu often used to go out for a ride. After a move in his heart, he immediately followed behind.
The fourth sister was idle by nature, and she didn’t have any interest in unnecessary things. Qin Banruo didn’t call her, she didn’t say anything, and she quietly left alone.
Qin Banruo had always thought that the reason why Mei Changsu came out of the backyard corner door was of course to cover up the whereabouts, but after following two full streets, she had to confirm that people walked the back door only because it was closer to the Nanyue Gate. No detours.
Outside the Nanyue gate, the pedestrians were not as weaving and weaving as in the city, Qin Banruo was tired for the first time, and the second was not a martial arts master. Once the people around her were sparse, she dared not continue to follow her. The little sedan went away.
Of course, Qin Banruo did not know that Mei Changsu did not go too far after leaving the city. The pedestrian only walked about two miles along the southern avenue, and then stopped by a Xia Ma pavilion on a small slope. Enter the kiosk.
The attendants placed wine and tea in the pavilion, and Mei Changsu sat on the stone bench leisurely, took the book and leaned against the pavilion bar and slowly looked over.
About half an hour later, a smoky dust rose in the direction of the city gate. Li Gang, who was with the attendant, first looked around and called out “Sect Master”.
Mei Changsu rolled up and looked at it from afar, because the distance was still far away, and he only vaguely saw two people riding two horses, one after another half a horse, running toward here.
Li Gang’s vision is better. When Mei Changsu is still identifying whether the person he wants to wait for is the person who came, he has confirmed clearly and whispered: “Sovereign, they are both of them.”
Mei Changsun said nothing, but Li Gang already understood, and immediately left the pavilion and came to the avenue.
As the two riders ran closer and closer, their eyebrows became clearer, but it seemed that they had not noticed Li Gang for the time being.
He was about to raise his arms and beckon the eyes of the visitor. The man who was running in front of him suddenly stopped for some reason and turned his horse back to look around.
But his action was quickly explained.
After seeing the flying dust, the third ride quickly chased, and the people immediately chased and shouted, “Jing Rui! Jing Rui, wait a minute!”
At this time, the other person accompanying Xiao Jingrui seemed anxious, and cried out, “Brother, brother, let’s go quickly.”
Xiao Jingrui raised his left hand and made a gesture of appeasement. Instead of leaving, he turned over and dismounted.
“Big Brother!” Yu Wennian felt guilty and shouted again.
“Nian Nian,” Xiao Jingrui smiled lightly at her, “That’s my friend, he called me, and I heard it, how can I leave it alone?”
“But … you promised …”
“You can rest assured that I promise to follow you back to visit him and I will definitely go.
This is not an escape. My friend came to see me off, what are you afraid of? “
In between these two or three sentences, Yan Yujin has rushed to the front.
After throwing his saddle and dismounting his horse, he ran straight in front of Xiao Jingrui, grabbed his arm and asked, “Jing Rui, where are you going?”
Xiao Jingrui answered four words without concealment: “Great Chu Yingdu.”
“Jing Rui!”
“Nian Nian received a letter. Her father was very ill and wanted to … want to see me … The mother’s permission was also granted, so it was reasonable and I should visit.”
Yan Yujin originally came to retain him. Hearing this reason, he said nothing, but the hand holding Xiao Jingrui’s arm also loosened spontaneously.
But after staying for a while, he was not at ease and asked another question: “Will you come back?”
Xiao Jingrui lowered his eyes, “Mother is still there, why can’t you ever come back.”
His words were faint, but Yujin listened to his ears, but he felt sour.
It ’s just that Xiao Jingrui is still able to keep calm, but he does n’t have a reason to be excited, so he busy his mouth and stabilized his emotions. It took a long time to say: “Jingrui, after that day, I always wanted to talk to you for a good chat, but the timing was always wrong. .
Since you are going now, you must say what you should say.
Jing Rui, there are some things that you really do n’t care too much. After all, it ’s gone. It ’s the grudges of your last life. It has nothing to do with you …
“Okay Yujin,” Xiao Jingrui interrupted him in a low voice. “Needless to say, I know what you mean.
It’s just … I can’t say that it has nothing to do with me.
My father, my mother, my brothers and sisters, this is a constant relationship, not to mention many years of affection, many years of grace, all this … not to say that the truth can be opened … “
“Jing Rui …”
“I understand that you want to persuade me to open a little bit, and you want me to be Xiao Jingrui before.
But Yujin, I really can’t do this.
For me, just around the corner, everything is gone. Since everything has changed, how can I stay the same? So whether I want it or not, Xiao Jingrui is no longer the former Xiao Jingrui and can only disappoint you. “
Yan Yujin took a deep breath and took a step forward, holding Xiao Jingrui’s shoulder with both hands, shaking vigorously, saying one by one: “Yes, I really hope you are the same as you.
But since you can’t do it, it doesn’t matter.
We grew up together from childhood, anyway, you have been changing, from the little fat little before to now tall and handsome; from quiet and quiet to talking, into a trough that will spit me with Xie Bi.
I do n’t mind you continue to change, anyway, no matter how you change, you are still my unique friend, our friendship will not change! So you listen to me, no matter where you go, you must remember my friend, if you dare to forget, I will definitely not spare you, do you understand? “
When he said the last sentence, his voice was a little dumb and his eyes were red, and the hand on Xiao Jingrui’s shoulder was so strong that his fingers were so painful to pinch.
His words were not long, but no one would doubt the sincerity, calmness and warmth contained in the words.
Xiao Jingrui lowered his head, his eyes were a little bit moist, and even Yu Wennian, who was watching, couldn’t help turning his face, and quietly wiped the corners of his eyes with his fingertips.
“Okay, now you can go wherever you want. Anyway, you ran everywhere before, but it ’s just Chu Chu, you have to take care.” Yan Yujin sucked his nose and took a step back. Remember to write to me. “
Xiao Jingrui raised his head.
The two stared at each other, struggling to show a smile, but with the smile on each other’s faces, they saw sadness that could not be concealed or diluted.
Because the two young people knew in their hearts, this difference, I will not see you again someday.
After the empress dowager mourning period, even the Princess Chang Yang will leave Beijing to go to her own fiefdom, and even if Xiao Jingrui returns to Liang, it will be difficult to step on the land of God.
The two of them are of similar origins, they are of similar ages, and have the same temperament. They thought that they could always be in such a way. They thought there would be almost the same trajectory of life.
Even if he is optimistic, he is at a loss at this time.
“Brother, shall we go?” Yu Wennian walked over with red eyes rubbing his sleeves.
Xiao Jingrui and Yan Yujin raised their arms at the same time and hugged tightly.
“Go on, I will watch you go.
Be small on the road … “Yan Yuzheng Qiang said the last goodbye with a smile, but his voice suddenly stopped, and his eyes fell somewhere behind Xiao Jingrui, with a strange expression.
Xiao Jingrui immediately noticed that he turned around and followed his sight, only to see where he was ten feet away. Li Gangzhen stood on the side of the road with a straight waist. When he turned back, he immediately raised his finger to the hillside next to him.
In fact, before Li Gang’s guidance looked up, Xiao Jingrui knew who he would see, so he was hesitant at the first moment, but after a moment, he raised his eyes frankly.
On the Banpo gazebo, Mei Changsu stood against the fence, and the mountain breeze was full of sleeves. Although the slight expression on his face could not be seen because of the distance, the posture clearly showed that he was waiting for Xiao Jingrui here.
“Jing Rui …” Yan Yujin screamed with some worry.
Xiao Jingrui settled down and turned back slightly, “He probably also came to see me off. I used to say a few words.”
“I’ll be with you …” This rushed word stopped after only a half sentence.
As smart as he says, he naturally understands that some of the knots must be solved by the parties themselves, and no one else can intervene, so in the end, he just stepped back a few steps and said no more.
Yu Wennian didn’t quite know the relationship between Xiao Jingrui and Mei Changsu, so she couldn’t figure out the situation. She just stepped forward to ask a few words, but was caught by Yu Jin and pulled back. Xiao Jingrui was already striding forward. Xiang Liangting, although his face was slightly white, but his attitude and pace were very stable.
“Please sit down.” Mei Changsu Wei smiled, lifted the silver pot on the stone table, filled a glass of sake, and handed it over, “This is a long way to go, a glass of wine, I hope you are safe all the way.”
Xiao Jingrui took the wine glass, drank his head and drank it, wiped the stain on the corner of his lips, returned the glass to the table, and arched his hand: “Thank you, Mr. Su, for seeing you off, I will leave next.”
Mei Changsu Ning watched the young man turn around and turned around, waiting for him to walk to the side of the pavilion and asked gently: “Jing Rui, why don’t you hate me?”
Xiao Jingrui paused for a moment in silence, then turned back to stare at him directly and replied: “What can I hate you? My mother’s past was not caused by you; my birth was not arranged by you, thanks … Thank you Hou ’s unrighteous actions were all done by himself, not by your instigation and planning … You and I understand that it actually made me feel extremely painful. In the final analysis, it was the truth itself, not the hand that uncovered the truth.
Things in those days had nothing to do with you at all, and I was not so ridiculous that I was angry with you and made you responsible for the wrong things that other people did. “
“However, I was able to keep the truth covered up, but I let it burst, and it burst so intensely, I did n’t even consider your feelings or the friendship between you and me. There should be some complaints, right?
Xiao Jingrui shook his head and smiled miserably: “To be honest, you used to be sad.
But after all, I am not a self-righteous child, I know that there are always choices.
You take what you think is important and abandon me. This is just your choice.
I ca n’t hate you because you did n’t choose me. After all … you do n’t have the responsibility and obligation to take me seriously. Even if I had hoped that way, I could n’t force it. “
“I don’t have to take you seriously, but since you and I have met, you have always treated each other with sincerity. At this point, I owe you.”
“I treat you sincerely because I want to do this.
If I can win the same sincerity, of course I am happy. If not, there is nothing to regret. “
Mei Changsu’s eyes were sad, but he still had a smile on his face: “Although you don’t regret it, it is impossible for you and me to be friends after all.”
Xiao Jingrui bowed his head and said nothing.
Since the two met, he has always admired Mei Changsu’s talent, regarded him as a mentor and a friend, and carefully maintained that friendship.
But I didn’t expect to go step by step, to the point where I can no longer be friends.
In fact, since the cause and effect are seriously counted, there is nothing inseparable between the two except for some knots.
But after so many things, Xiao Jingrui has deeply felt that what Yan Yujin said was right. He and Mei Changsu are not people in the same world at all. There are too many inequalities between them, and there is no basis for becoming friends. .
No hate, no complaint, has been their best ending.
Maybe in the future, growth can bring about changes, maybe in the future, there will be unexpected intersections, but at least at this stage, they are indeed as Mei Changsu said, it is impossible to be friends …
“Jing Rui,” Mei Changsu took a step forward and looked softly at the young man’s face. “You are the most accommodating child I know. God gave you a temperament that doesn’t remember hatred and is kind, maybe To offset your pain.
I sincerely hope that in the future, you can maintain this sincere heart and get more peace and happiness, because that is all you deserve … “
“Thank you.” Xiao Jingrui took a deep breath and slowly exhaled again.
In fact, he still had a lot of words in his heart, but when he reached his lips, he felt that it was useless, so he must be turned again and quickly left the pavilion.
Both Yu Wennian and Yan Yujin were waiting for him on the **** down road. After the three of them reunited, they only said a few goodbyes. The brothers and sisters Xiao Jingrui recognized the stirrup and started to fly south.
Yan Yujin watched them disappear, his expression sad, and then looked up at Mei Changsu, who was still in the pavilion, hesitated, or said hello in the past.
However, this was not an occasion for conversation, and the two were not in a mood to talk, so after giving a few words, Yujin spoke out and went back to the city.
“Sovereign, the wind is strong here, shall we go back?” Li Gang asked when he came over to collect the wine set.
Mei Changsu silently acquiesced, slowly stood up and out of the pavilion.
Before approaching the sedan chair, he looked back at Xiao Jingrui’s direction, condensing his figure and falling into contemplation.
“Sovereign? Sovereign?”
Mei Changsu’s two long, dark eyebrows slowly gathered towards his forehead and sighed, “Da Chu is not a pure land after all … passing on my orders, send Zhu Xi to the past, try to take care of it.”
