Special Fondness - Chapter 27
The winter snow is getting thinner, ushering in another new year.
Fang Su did not deliberately count the number of New Years spent together with Tang Qiaoyuan. He was just as happy and cherished as before. He followed the preparations of all the people in the mansion, and personally joined hands to add festive things to the room in the corridor. .
The last lantern in the main courtyard was hung up, Fang Su happily bent over, Tang Qiaoyuan extended his arms to greet him, and waited for him to get off the stool.
Fang Su hooked his neck and stood firmly on the porch. The man kissed his flushed cheeks with excitement, and asked with a smile, “Isn’t it too troublesome to pick a lantern and stick a blessing paper every year?”
“How come?” Fang Su shook his head, “These things are very beautiful…”
“Better than me?” Tang Qiaoyuan teased.
Over the years, Fang Su has heard jokes like this many times, but now he can easily deal with it. He put his hand on his face and said with a smile, “You are the best looking.”
“Susu looks the best.”
The man smiled lowly and kissed his palm.
Fang Su pursed her lips, and the snow outside the corridor lined the white velvet collar, which was refreshing and pleasing to the eye. There was warmth in Tang Qiaoyuan’s eyes, and he couldn’t help wanting to kiss those upturned lips. He tilted his head an inch closer when he was interrupted by the sound of approaching footsteps… The person who came was a girl who walked lightly at first, As for not being noticed early, seeing the ambiguous atmosphere at this time, it seemed abrupt when he wanted to retreat, so he had no choice but to cover his mouth with a generous smile and approached to give a salute.
Fang Su put one hand on the shoulder of the person in front of him, blushed and pushed away slightly, lowered his eyes, and turned his head to look embarrassed. Seeing this, Bai Ping was even more interesting, and when she opened her mouth to greet her, she deliberately called “Mrs.” first.
The person who was called didn’t know how to respond, but Tang Qiaoyuan couldn’t stop laughing.
“Today is the 21st day of the twelfth lunar month. When does Bai Ping plan to go home?”
As soon as these words came out, Fang Su looked up and looked at her with the same concern.
The teasing intent in Bai Ping’s eyes dissipated, and when she thought about her family, she couldn’t help showing a warm light. She smiled and replied, “This servant is here to take leave, and will leave after dusk tomorrow.”
She lives in the north of Linzhou City, so she doesn’t travel around. Even if it’s not a New Year’s holiday, she can go home to visit her relatives from time to time. In addition, Tang Qiaoyuan has always treated her kindly, which makes her even more free. Bai Ping felt fortunate, and was always grateful. After thinking about it, she said sincerely: “If there is a need in the house, the village owner can call the slaves back at any time.”
“No need,” Tang Qiaoyuan shook his head lightly, knowing that she was concerned, he said comfortingly, “The New Year should be like a New Year, those who have homes to go back to accompany their families, and those who are homeless stay in this mansion. It’s enough, you don’t have to worry about it. If you get enough money before you leave tomorrow, don’t forget to give rewards to the people in the mansion.”
“Slave will naturally remember.” Bai Ping saluted, and explained the last trivial matters clearly, but she was not in a hurry to leave, and cast her eyes on it.
This person saw that she had something to talk about, but seeing the normal expression on her face, he really couldn’t guess what could make him particularly concerned, and he was full of dismissive attitude. Tang Qiaoyuan was vaguely interested, and couldn’t help asking, “What do you want to say?”
Bai Ping still didn’t speak directly, and hinted euphemistically: “My servant heard a nostalgic thing today, and it came from Liucheng.”
Tang Qiaoyuan’s brows wrinkled imperceptibly, and Fang Su’s expression did not change beside him. Obviously, he didn’t think of “an old friend” from the word “Liucheng”, or he never knew about the place and the relationship a long time ago. The contact of the deceased.
Tang Qiaoyuan was silent for a moment. Although he still didn’t know what happened to Qin Meiwan, he really didn’t want to remind Fang Su of her, lest he would reveal the terrible old things in his memory again.
He didn’t say a word here, and Bai Ping, who was smart, understood in an instant, and said casually: “I heard that it has been snowing heavily for several days over there, the city is full of silver clothes, and the road is difficult to travel.”
“Very good,” Tang Qiaoyuan answered calmly, “Rui Xue is a good year.”
The conversation came to an abrupt end.
Fang Su heard the fog in the clouds and couldn’t tell what was wrong, but only smiled lightly.
In the afternoon of that day, when Fang Su was taking a nap, Tang Qiaoyuan left the dormitory alone and came to the courtyard. He found Bai Ping again, and asked her carefully about the facts she had not finished in the morning.
Bai Ping opened his mouth and recounted that the protagonist in the incident used to be the person he hated, but now that he has a bleak end, that hatred has actually faded away, leaving only the indifference, and said, “I must have heard about it long ago, Qin Mei. Wan married someone as early as the beginning of the year, and that person was the second son of the Li family, a big salt merchant in Liucheng.
Tang Qiaoyuan nodded when he heard the words, and he had indeed heard it before.
Qin Meiwan was not young when she got married, and a young girl in her twenties was rare in the local area. The Qin family, where matchmakers came one after another, became cold-hearted, and the news that the Tang and Qin families were cut off from each other quickly spread throughout Liucheng, becoming a talking point for all kinds of people after tea and dinner, making the Qin family an unavoidable place for matchmakers.
Although Qin Meiwan didn’t really have anything to do with Tang Qiaoyuan, the rumors were like tigers. Qin Meiwan was like a plaything abandoned by others in the story. The talented girl who should be sought after suddenly became a frivolous woman who was despised by others. Mr. Qin’s face was dull, and his old illness relapsed with anger. He finally got out of bed and lay down for a few more months because of his anger.
Qin Meiwan was disheartened and locked herself in the boudoir, not knowing the years outside the room, until one day, the Li family came to propose marriage.
In fact, Er Gongzi Li had asked a matchmaker to come here a few years ago, but at that time Qin Meiwan’s eyes were higher than the top, and where he could see him, he still focused on Tang Qiaoyuan and refused mercilessly. Now that she has fallen to this point, Second Young Master Li not only does not think she is ashamed, but feels that the opportunity is rare and takes the opportunity to pick up this piece of bun.
——The innocence or not has never been a consideration for Second Young Master Li, not to mention his talent and knowledge. Anyway, from the very beginning, all he saw was Qin Meiwan’s gorgeous face.
If he doesn’t really love him, he can’t talk about loyalty. After the second son of Li married Qin Meiwan, he only kept his freshness for about half a year. After that, he often lingered in Fengyue places, leaving his wife alone.
How could Qin Meiwan endure such grievances, not to mention that the second son of Li was not in his heart. In her opinion, she was just desperate to get married. Who knows that this person doesn’t know what to do or how to cherish ? In this way, he couldn’t be allowed to betray him, and he immediately brought out the root of evil, and made a ruthless attack on those who seduced the second son of Li.
Second Young Master Li is also not a kind person. The beautiful woman who was still in his arms the day before, and the next day, is disabled and dead. He just needs to change another one.
Until later, no one in Liucheng knew that Qin Meiwan was a terribly jealous woman, and no one in the dust would like to be happy with Second Young Master Li. Second Young Master Li was extremely angry, squandered his family property, and spent a lot of money. After a long time, someone finally gave him his arms.
This daring woman is the most popular among the prostitutes in Liucheng. She is known as the girl of Qingye. She is not a simple and kind person who can climb to the top. She thought that if Qin Meiwan was safe, she would give up, but if the other party really shot her to harm her, she would certainly not be merciful.
And who is Qin Meiwan, how can he tolerate this matter, if it doesn’t cause trouble, it will be a strange thing, so as usual, bribe the wicked to attack cruelly. After the young lady found out about her actions, she did not panic, but paid more money to those who came to rob her and tied Qin Meiwan to the abandoned temple outside the city that night.
Qingye girl is ruthless and never let her go. Qin Meiwan has only done cruel things to others in the past, but now it is her turn, and she has finally tasted all her fears, and the end is miserable…
Tang Qiaoyuan felt a chill in his heart and felt that he was not a good person, but he was nothing in front of these seemingly weak daughters. He pressed the nausea in his stomach and asked, “So what happened to Qin Meiwan, that Qingye girl?”
Bai Ping spoke calmly and calmly before, but she couldn’t help but paused when she said this, and said in a low voice, “Blind the eyes, punctured the tendons and hamstrings, and then set a fire in the temple.”
“died?”
“No,” Bai Ping shook her head, “It just so happened that a few people arrived at night, put out the fire, and rescued Qin Meiwan, but the thick smoke damaged her ears and throat.”
Tang Qiaoyuan didn’t feel good in his heart. After a while, he reluctantly commented: “It’s better to die.”
When the words ended, he seemed to think of something, and a strange thought came into his mind, lingering for a while, and a few scenes flashed in shock—that was when I was young, the lake in the Tang Mansion was supposed to be green, but one day it was dyed a corner of blood. , the poor rabbit floated miserably in the water.
When he was young, Tang Qiaoyuan was startled and stopped, his eyes stared blankly. After a long time, he bent down and retched, tears rolled out, and he was speechless, only one thought of resentment remained, thinking about the In the future, he will not be able to pet other things, unless he has enough ability to shelter them, or the vicious Qin Meiwan will never appear around him again.
The shadow is buried in my heart. In the more than ten years since then, Tang Qiaoyuan has gradually matured, and many old things have faded away, but this idea has never been put down, and he has never raised any pets, let alone loved anyone.
If it hadn’t been for the “One Bell” in the future, all of today’s things were created by accident, I’m afraid that he and Fang Su would not have such a fate…
Because it is Qin Meiwan, and the fruit is also Qin Meiwan, Tang Qiaoyuan has nothing to say, but can only sigh “good and evil are rewarded”.
Now Qin Meiwan’s fate is inexplicably the same as the innocent rabbit back then. Tang Qiaoyuan couldn’t say whether he sympathized, but the hatred in his heart was really shallow.
The snowflakes fell lightly, and Tang Qiaoyuan’s sleeves were stained with a few crystal clear debris. He sighed and shook his head. Thinking of the New Year’s time, Master Qin’s home was bleak and deserted. Thinking of the old feelings eventually gave birth to a little bit of unbearable, and after thinking about it, he said: “Don’t spread the matter, so as not to let the lady know… As for the Qin mansion, it would be great if they could find a genius doctor. If not, it would only end in tragedy.”
Bai Ping knew how complicated his mood should be, but helplessly persuaded: “It’s a slave and a servant who shouldn’t talk about this with the village owner.”
“I’ll find out sooner or later.” Tang Qiaoyuan waved his hand, indicating that she didn’t need to take the blame, and said, “It’s just that the mood is strong for a while, you don’t need to worry, I still remember the past.”
Bai Ping breathed a sigh of relief, and curved her lips lightly: “Zhuang Zhu, the servant may say a little more, you have heard about Qin Meiwan’s affairs. From the servant’s point of view, she is just doing a lot of injustice, and it is your fault. Say, now that Madam and you are safe, everything will be fine.”
The girl’s words pierced into Tang Qiaoyuan’s heart, and he smiled, with some accustomed admiration in his eyes, and said with a smile, “You have always been good at talking.”
Bai Ping was not humble, and gave a salute.
After a joke, the heavy atmosphere slowly disappeared.
Tang Qiaoyuan didn’t talk about the matter in depth, and when he mentioned Fang Suqi, he felt warm, so he went back to the dormitory to accompany the sleeping person.
There were several heaters burning in the room. Tang Qiaoyuan was afraid that Fang Su would catch a cold in the cold winter. When he returned to the room, he saw that the person on the bed was so hot that the quilt was overturned, which made him laugh.
This backfired, so Tang Qiaoyuan thought about it and went to the window, pushed the window open more, but moved the two copper stoves away, then sat by the bed and carefully covered Fang Su with the quilt.
Fang Su was cold and hot from time to time, and he was in a daze, but with such a gentle movement, he suddenly woke up, looked at the person who came with half-open eyes, and smiled at him.
Tang Qiaoyuan’s heart softened, he simply took off his jacket and fell asleep on the bed, wrapping himself in the quilt with him…
Fang Su rubbed into his arms and felt that his body was a little cold, not as warm as usual, but instead of letting go, he held him tighter and asked softly, “Qiao Yuan, you are cold. It’s cold… have you gone outside?”
“Well,” Tang Qiaoyuan kissed his eyebrows and eyes, full of satisfaction, and replied, “Stand in the snow for a while, talking to Bai Ping, she will go home tomorrow, so she will be busy today.”
Fang Su listened to the words and nodded, reached out to hug him, and rubbed his palms on his back, it seemed that this small gesture could warm him up. Tang Qiaoyuan let out a low laugh and couldn’t bear to interrupt him. After a while, he really felt sorry for his sore hands, so he turned to the side happily, grabbed his hand and rubbed: “It’s not cold.”
Fang Su was still drowsy, and it was the most clingy time, so he held his hand in the posture of this person, took his hand behind his waist, and arched into his arms, Nuo Nuo said: “Qiao Yuan , will you sleep with me for a while?”
“Okay.” Tang Qiaoyuan felt pity, hugged him and patted him, and when he saw his words, he closed his eyes again, as if he could fall into a deep sleep in an instant.
The room was quiet, except for the occasional sound of the sizzle of the charcoal fire in the stove.
This man couldn’t help but put what he had just heard in his mind and went through it again, the more he thought about it, the more emotional he became, and he spoke to Fang Su in a very soft voice: “Susu, Bai Ping is right, as long as you are good, what about others? , why should I think about it.”
Fang Su had already fallen asleep again, but for some reason, listening to this man’s words, he reacted, rubbing his cheek against his neck. Tang Qiaoyuan couldn’t hide his smile, full of love, and dropped a light kiss in his hair.
Counting the days, today is twenty-one, tomorrow is twenty-two, and until the twenty-three, this “year” can be regarded as really coming.
I didn’t deliberately count it before, but now I calculate it, this is the fifth year he and Fang Su have spent together… From now on, ten years and a hundred years can be easily kept.
– That’s fine.
Tang Qiaoyuan sniffed the fragrance in Fang Su’s hair and thought with a smile, this is very good, he will do as many good deeds as possible in the future, accumulate well-being, and seek longevity. The longer he lives, the better.
In that way, for a long time, he can accompany the most important person to walk slowly.
