Chapter 11 Chapter 11

When the weather is cold, the trees in the garden will wither and yellow a lot of leaves.All of a sudden, there was a weak westerly wind, which blew off one or two withered yellow leaves on the tree, whirling in mid-air, until they fell to the ground, turned into ashes and turned into mud. The magpie pushed the door lightly and entered the room, only to see that Jing Wei was already awake, lying and sitting with half of the quilt in her arms, and didn't notice her coming, just quietly looking out of the window.The magpie really doesn't know what to see outside, and the young lady likes to look at it every day and night.

She called softly: "Miss." Jing Wei then turned her head to look at her, and said lightly: "Why are you here so early?" Magpie tutted: "Miss, you also know it's so early, why are you so early?" Why don't you sleep a little longer?" Jing Wei smiled slightly at her, but remained silent.How does the silly magpie understand, she can't sleep at all, but what is even more disturbing is that he keeps appearing in front of her.Last night, she fell into a hazy sleep for a while, but he still refused to let her go, just to show up.Appeared in front of her eyes, in her dreams—it has been half a month since he came back, and she has refused to think about it, but he will still appear.

When waking up in the morning these few days, she still habitually stretched out her hand to the side to feel the residual warmth of the quilt—it wasn't until the cold feeling clearly spread to her mind that she suddenly realized that this place was in the south of the Yangtze River. In the boudoir of the wedding.There are no magnificent western-style furnishings in the house, and there are no floor-to-ceiling French windows-of course there is no possibility of him! After the special train arrived in Jiangnan that day, my father knew that she was coming back, and even sent a car to pick her up.During this time, he also told his aunts not to disturb her if they had nothing to do.She didn't explain why she came back, nor did she say whether she would stay for a while or forever, and my father didn't ask anything.Maybe it should be like what Magpie said, I really want to thank Kong Jiazhong, he has carefully prepared gifts of all sizes, ranging from his father to the son of the fifth aunt who is too young to be six years old, and everything seems to be carefully prepared. Prepared as ever, exquisite and expensive.The pistol given to his father, Jiang Haiquan, was a German pistol studded with red and green gemstones. It was so small and exquisite that even an old gun expert like his father couldn't put it down.The second concubine, the third concubine, and the fifth concubine each have two kinds of jewelry, one imported style and one domestic style, and each person's style is different, so it goes without saying that the weight is fine, look at the aunt You can tell by the eyes and eyebrows that bend when they smile.And siblings and all sorts of different things.I really admire Kong Jiazhong's ability to handle affairs. Everyone's things are wrapped in different boxes, and they are clearly marked separately, so that the magpies can't make mistakes when they deliver.Probably he was also afraid of losing the etiquette of the Helian family, and let others see the joke alive.

Even Second Aunt, who never gave her any good looks, occasionally met her in the garden these days, and greeted her with a smile.Needless to say, the third aunt and the fifth aunt would come to her room in person to chat with her.I really don't know what expressions they will make if they know that she was driven back, that they may never go to the Northland in this life, and will be rice bugs at home for the rest of their lives!I'm afraid that if you see her, you will be like seeing a plague god, so you can hide as far away as you can. It's just that they don't know, and she doesn't want to reveal the real reason for her return. She doesn't know if it's because her father is worried that the alliance will be lost or there is still a vague expectation, and she can't tell.He just told himself that if his father knew the truth, he would definitely worry about the alliance, so he could delay it if he could.Yesterday, San Yiniang knew that she would occasionally play mahjong for fun when she was in Beidi, so she dragged her to the upper room and asked her to accompany her.Unexpectedly, she began to comment on her earrings and other jewelry one by one.He left in a hurry that day, and the things were also packed by the magpies and the servants, who knew that they brought back almost all the jewelry.She wore a pair of earrings and a bracelet under the magpie's fiddling that day, and she didn't pay much attention to it.When we arrived in the upper room, the aunts had sharp eyes, and they could tell it was a good item at a glance, so they started talking: "I said Miss, this set of earrings and bracelets are the top-notch items, I'm afraid they are extremely expensive!" In fact, Wei didn't know, she just smiled and didn't answer.Fifth Aunt looked very envious: "Last time I saw it in a magazine, which said that it was made abroad, and there are only three sets in the world. Of course, the price is so expensive." Jing Wei Only then was she stunned for a while, but she didn't know there was such a story in it.She couldn't help feeling dazed, remembering that day when he gave her this set of jewelry, the spring was beautiful, and the pink butterflies in the yard kept hopping around.

He put it on for her with a smile, leaned close to her ear and asked her like a whisper: "Do you like it?" The breath carried the musk and a touch of tobacco on his body and sprayed on her ears and on her cheeks, Crispy and numb.The servants and attendants stood so far behind them.Feeling ashamed, she twisted her head away.Disappointment and loneliness faintly flashed in his eyes—— She was so dazed, so naturally she didn't hear the third aunt's question: "Miss, did you get it from Young Master Helian? I heard that he loves you!" Until the magpie tugged at her clothes She just came back to her senses, and said indiscriminately: "Oh." The second aunt was both envious and jealous, and it would be great if her daughter Jing Qiang married.She also opened her mouth: "Miss, it's not that my second aunt didn't teach you, which men don't play around? Before Young Master Helian got married, I heard that there were already many women. Women, you should take advantage of the time when you are favored." , plan more for yourself!" Jing Wei smiled lightly, but her heart was full of sadness, yes, which man is not chaotic!The third aunt also answered, "Jingwei, I'm thinking of you, auntie. You need to spend more time and effort, men are the worst at this." Jingwei just smiled.Even if you have exhausted all the means and effort, if a man is tired, he is tired, no matter how hard you try to catch it, you will not be able to catch it.Isn't my father just a living example? The second aunt, the third aunt, and the fifth aunt are all charming and exquisite, and my father has accepted one after another.If it weren't for the fact that his body and bones are really not as good as before in the past few years, and coupled with the constant wars, he might have already reached six or seven aunts.

She doesn't like to get along with aunts, but she can't refuse explicitly, so she has to avoid them as much as possible.If she wasn't Helian Jingfeng's wife today, they would probably feel disdainful if they saw her.If you say that the happiest thing about returning to Jiangnan is being able to meet Chuxiang.On this day, Chuxiang came to pick her up, and they both went to the teahouse.The teahouse was diagonally opposite the school, and as soon as he sat down, he remembered that it was here that he met him for the first time.His eyes were burning like torches, and he looked at her motionlessly, with a slight smile on his mouth, but there was no smile in his eyes.She couldn't help but thumped in her heart, and hurriedly looked away.Although it was a quick glance, his appearance was engraved in his mind, and his appearance was handsome and quite heroic.For some reason, she didn't dare to move her eyes away - that was the first time she met him, and he looked at her from afar with sharp eyes picking goods.Yes, pick the cargo eye.She also always remembered that during her days in Beidi, she always remembered her identity. Others respected her face to face, let her in, and complimented her. .He likes to give her things and watch her dress up, but I'm afraid it's just for her to make a embroidered flower in front of others, making others envious.

Chuxiang kept talking in her ear, laughing and laughing constantly.Jing Wei looked at it with envy, it's great that you don't know how to feel sad when you are young.Who said that Chuxiang's carelessness is not a blessing.Others look at her with envy, brocade clothes, endless jewellery, young and powerful husband, but they don't know that she is just a flower in his garden, and they come to pity her when she thinks of it-if she can choose, she would rather She is a commoner who married an ordinary man and had a son, and they will stay together until old age.Isn't being ordinary a kind of happiness?If my father hadn't seized the opportunity to make progress back then, I'm afraid he would have grown old with his mother forever, and they would have loved each other endlessly!The mother will not marry one concubine after another after the glory of the father, and die in depression!Whether the mother is stupid or stupid, how could she be sick to death for a man whose heart is no longer in her?

Days and evenings and mornings pass in a blink of an eye.She has also gotten used to it, just like going back to the past, those days were like yellow flowers in a dream, they disappeared when they saw the light, as if they had only appeared in a dream before.Magpie didn't mention it, and neither did she.When I woke up in the morning, I opened my eyes to the light blue curtain, no matter how sleepy my eyes were, I would no longer see it as a white lace curtain. The magpie was different from usual. Early in the morning, he brought a bowl of hot chicken noodles, clear soup and fine noodles, sprinkled with a few green scallions, which was very tempting.She had a very good appetite, and she ate several bites in a row, before she said: "Why did you prepare noodles for me today?" Magpie glanced at her from the corner of his eyes, and said angrily and amusedly: "Miss, you are really sleepy. This one is your birthday, so of course you want to eat longevity noodles." The hand holding the noodles slowly lowered, it turned out to be her birthday.Based on this calculation, she may have been here for almost a month.He didn't even make a phone call or a letter.Maybe she is about to be forgotten, that Miss Lin is so charming and charming, if she is a man, I'm afraid she will like it very much.

Sitting like this, I can't read any books.Chu Xiang actually sent people away and sent a car over, saying that she was invited to go to Baoyue Tower.As soon as they entered the room, they saw that Chuxiang and Xiao Yang were already present.Seeing her coming, he hurriedly ordered the waiter to serve the tea and serve the food.Baoyue Tower is one of the best restaurants in the south of the Yangtze River, and it has always been a gathering place for dignitaries.The service is first-class, and the dishes are served in no time.Usually the three of them don't drink, but today they ordered wine.Seeing that Chuxiang was the first to fill the wine glass, and filled it up for her and Xiao Yang, she held up the glass and said, "Jing Wei, I wish you a happy birthday. This glass is my respect, you must Drink up." Jingwei only felt her nose sour and her eyes wet, but her heart was filled with unspeakable emotion, and she smiled and said, "Chuxiang, it's not like you don't know, how can I drink? " Chu Xiang naturally refused, and said: "This is the newly brewed sweet-scented osmanthus wine from Baoyue Tower. It's not the same as tea. How could you get drunk? Even if you are drunk, it doesn't matter, there are Xiao Yang and me ? We will send you back to the Commander's Mansion safely." Jing Wei couldn't push it anymore, so she had to drink it.One naturally has two.Xiao Yang waited for her to eat some food, and offered her a cup to respect her, she naturally said again: "I really can't drink anymore." Xiao Yang only smiled and said: "It turns out that compared with Chuxiang, I am still half the Save face." Hearing what he said, Jing Wei was also embarrassed, so she had to drink again.

She really didn't know how to drink. When she was in Beidi in the past, during the festivals, she would just touch her slightly and wet her lips.He will take it and drink it for her.She didn't want to drink too much at first, but Chuxiang and Xiao Yang kept laughing and talking, as if they were back in the school that day.Before I knew it, I had already drank a few cups, and I felt dizzy and hot.Seeing this, Xiao Yang ordered the servants to open a few windows facing the street, saying that it was enough to get some air. The wind at the end of autumn has gradually cooled down. When it blows slightly, although it is better, I still feel a little confused.Chuxiang and Xiao Yang had nothing to do, they just talked and laughed with her and ate vegetables.Occasionally, there is the sound of cries from shops on the street, and it is also lively.While eating, the street became noisy as if something had happened.Still wondering, I only heard the crisp voice of a newsboy, although after so many buzzing voices, it still reached Jingwei's ears clearly: "The mutiny happened five days ago in the Northland, the second young master of Helian and the fourth Don't want to seize power—" She only felt that her mind was blank, she didn't know anything, and she was limp, without any strength.

When she recovered from the pain, Xiao Yang had already bought the newspaper, and Chu Xiang was squeezing her arm hard.She tore through the newspaper violently, only to see the big black headline on it: "Coup d'état in the Northland!" The two generals Xie Yingkui secretly overthrew Young Master Helian from the position of warlord, but the young master saw through and was arrested.The article didn't say whether he was injured or not, and if so, was it serious?Jing Wei only felt her heart beating non-stop, so urgent, so fast, as if it was about to burst out of her chest.Chuxiang and Xiao Yang just comforted her, but she was so flustered that she couldn't listen to anything at all, and didn't know anything at all. In the middle of the chaos, the mansion sent someone over again, saying that they wanted to tell her to go back.I'm afraid that the government also knows about this matter.Yes, when she goes back to the mansion, she can inquire about the situation with her father. Naturally, her father is familiar with the situation in the Northern Army.She can also call to the north, it's better than worrying here.Chuxiang and Xiao Yang were naturally worried, so they sent her back together. After getting out of the car and going back, the cold wind kept blowing over again. I felt a little dizzy, and my footsteps were a little wobbly. It seemed that I was still not fully awake from the wine.Chu Xiang had no choice but to support her slightly.Straight into the garden, the magpie came out with a smile and said, "Miss, the young master is here." Jing Wei was stunned, and it took a while to realize, and walked into the hall.I saw him sitting in the middle of the hall, accompanied by his father on the left, Second Concubine, Third Concubine, Fifth Concubine, Jing Qiang and others all came, and it was very dark.He was wearing a formal military uniform, the medals and belt on his shoulders had a cold metallic luster, and he was very handsome.Just sitting like this, sitting far away, with a very indifferent expression, just looking at her, the eyes are as black and deep as the sea, with no end in sight.She only felt buzzing in her head, as if there were thousands of bees flying around, she couldn't see anything but his face.Her heart felt like it had been burnt, hot and painful.His eyes were full of sourness, as if he couldn't even control his tears.
