Ji Ze changed the direction of the chair, sat facing the wall, leaned back on the chair, covered his eyes with his hands, and sighed again.Qiqiao gnawed at the fan handle, glanced at him sideways and said, "What's wrong with you today? Did you suffer from heat?" Ji Ze said, "How do you know?" After a long while, he said in a low voice, "You know Why am I not good with the one at home, why am I playing outside desperately, ruining all the property? Do you know who it is for?" Qiqiao unconsciously felt a little timid, walked away, and leaned on the stove On, his complexion slowly changed.Ji Ze followed.Qiqiao lowered her head, leaning her elbows on the stove, holding a round fan in her hand, and the apricot tassels on the fan dragged down her forehead.Ji Ze stopped in front of her, and whispered: "Second sister-in-law

! ... Qiqiao! " Qiqiao turned her face away and said with a faint smile, "It's no wonder I believe you!" Ji Ze also walked away, saying, "That's right. How can you trust me? Ever since you came to my house, I've never stayed at home for a moment." I can't help it, I just want to go out. I wasn't so ridiculous when you didn't come, and then it was all to avoid you. After marrying Lanxian, I played even more fiercely, and I wanted to hide from her in order to hide from you. When I saw you, I would lose my temper within a few words──How do you know the pain in my heart? You treat me well, and I feel even worse──I have to control myself──I can’t just mess up You, there are so many people in the family, let people know, I am a man, it doesn't matter. You are amazing!" Qiqiao's hand was trembling, and the apricot beard on the handle of the fan was rubbing Susu on her forehead.Ji Ze said: "It doesn't matter if you believe it! You don't matter if you don't believe it! Anyway, half of our life has passed, and it's useless to say it. I just ask you to forgive me. I have suffered all this for you, and I am not wronged." gone."

Qiqiao lowered her head, bathed in the brilliance, soft music, subtle joy... These years, she has played hide-and-seek with him, but she can't get close, so there is still today!But no, this half of my life is over—the flowery age has passed.Life is so complicated and unreasonable.Why did she marry into the Jiang family?For money?No, in order to meet Ji Ze, because she was destined to fall in love with Ji Ze.She raised her face slightly, and Ji Ze stood in front of her, clasped his hands on her fan, and pressed his cheek against her fan.He is also ten years old, but he is still the same person after all!Is he coaxing her?He wanted her money—how much did she get for selling her life?The mere thought made her furious.Even if she wronged him, is the hardship he endured for her worth the hardship she endured for him?It was so easy for her to give up, and he came to tease her again, and she hated him.He is still looking at her.His eyes—even though ten years have passed, the person is still the same person!Even if he lied to her, wouldn't it be better to find out later?Even if he knows it's a lie, he's so good at acting, isn't it almost as real?

no!She can't have the handle in this guy's hands.The people in Jiang's family are powerful, and she might not be able to keep her money.She had to prove that he was serious.Qiqiao made up her mind, took a look outside the door, and exclaimed softly: "There is someone!" Then hurried out the door, went to the servant's room and told Pan's mother to get some snacks for the third master, and serve them quickly. Come here, by the way, bring a plantain fan in to fan the third master.Qiqiao came back into the room, frowning on purpose and said: "It's horrible, the old lady was poking around the door, and when she saw me, she wiped her head and ran away, but I caught up and drank it. If you close the door and say a few words, pointing out Maybe there are some rumors out there! Rao lives in a single family, so it's not clean." Pan's mother brought in snacks and sour plum soup, and Qiqiao personally picked up the roses and green plums on the honey layer cake for Ji Ze with chopsticks , said: "I remember you don't like to eat red and green silk." Someone was in front of him, and Ji Ze couldn't say anything, but just smiled.Qiqiao seemed to be looking for something to say, and asked, "How's the deal with you about selling the house?" Ji Ze replied while eating, "Someone offered 85,000 yuan, and I haven't made up my mind yet." Seven Qiao pondered: "The location is good." Ji Ze said: "No one agrees with me selling it, saying that it will increase." Qiqiao asked some more details, and then said: "It's a pity that I don't have this sum of cash on hand, otherwise I want to buy it." Ji Ze said: "Actually, I'm not in a hurry with this house, but your farmland in our country, it's better to sell it as soon as possible. Since the Republic of China was changed, there have been wars one after another. How can there be a year of idleness, ruining the ground? It's not going well, and we are being gnawed layer by layer by rent collectors, masters, and local snakes in the middle, not to mention that the past two years have been either floods or droughts, but we have had a good year, and there is not much profit. It's our turn." Seven Thinking about it cleverly, he said: "I've also planned to come here, but I've been doing nothing. First, if you sell it, if you want to buy a house now, you won't be out of money." Ji Ze said: "Your field is going to be sold while it is still there. I have to sell it now, I heard that Zhilu is about to go to war again." Qiqiao said, "Who do you want me to sell it to in a hurry?" Jize paused and said, "I'll go and find out for you, that's fine too. "Qiqiao shrugged her eyebrows and smiled: "Come on, among your gangsters, who is reliable?" Ji Ze dipped the bitten-off dumplings into a small dish with vinegar, and leisurely named two reliable ones. Qiqiao carefully questioned him about the name of the person, and he really answered in an orderly manner, obviously he was familiar with it.

Although Qiqiao was smiling, her mouth felt dry, her upper lip stuck to her teeth and she couldn't let it go.She picked up the tureen and took a sip of tea, licked her lips, suddenly turned her face down, jumped up, and threw the fan in her hand over Ji Ze's head, Ji Ze leaned to the left, then The round fan knocked on his shoulder, knocked over the glass, and the sour plum juice splashed all over him.Qiqiao scolded: "You want me to sell the field to buy your house? You want me to sell the field? Once the money is in your hands, is there anything else to say? You coax me—you coax me with such words— You take me for a fool—" She leaned across a table and hit him, but she was hugged tightly by Pan's mother.Pan's mother screamed, Xiangyun and others rushed over, held her down, and begged her.Qiqiao struggled and shouted, but her heart sank—she knew very well that her behavior was too stupid—too stupid—she was making a fool of herself here.

Ji Ze took off his wet white cloud gauze gown, Pan's mother wrung a towel to wipe it for him, but he ignored it, put the clothes on his arm, and went out by himself. Before leaving, he asked Xiangyun Said: "When Brother Bai is out of school, tell him to call a doctor for his mother." Xiangyun was so frightened that he agreed repeatedly, but Qiqiao gave her a slap in the face. Ji Ze left.The girl and the old lady were also scolded by Qiqiao and ran away.The sour plum soup dripped down the table drop by drop, like a slow night leak - one drop, one drop... one watch, two watch... one year, one hundred years.What a long, silent moment.Qiqiao stood with her head on her head, turned around quickly and went upstairs, holding her skirt, stumbling in a hurry, bumping into the dark green powder wall, and a large piece of pale color was stained on the Buddha green jacket. of ash.She would have another look at him from the upstairs window.In any case, she had loved him before.Her love gave her endless pain.That alone makes her worth loving.How many times, in order to restrain herself, she burst so that all the muscles and bones and the roots of the teeth were sore.Today was entirely her fault.He is not a good person, and it's not like she doesn't know it.If she wants him, she has to pretend to be confused, and she has to tolerate his badness.Why did she want to expose him?Isn't that what life is all about?After all, what is real?What is fake?

She went to the window and opened the dark green foreign-style curtain with small pompoms on it. Ji Ze was looking out in the alley, with his long gown on his arm, and the wind on a sunny day was like a flock of white doves getting into his silk blouse. Go, drilled everywhere, flapping its wings flutteringly. There seemed to be a cold pearl curtain hanging in front of Qiqiao's eyes. A gust of hot wind came and pressed the curtain tightly against her face. When the wind went away, the curtain was sucked back again. Before the air could come through, the wind came again. Her head was covered with no face——it was cold and hot, and she just shed tears.
