Chapter 10 The Golden Lock (10)

Chang An was still in high spirits in the car, chatting and laughing happily. When he arrived at the restaurant, he suddenly became reserved, followed Chang Xin, and quietly hid in the room. One-tenth of the almonds were lightly nibbled off every two minutes, chewing slowly.She came to be seen.She felt that her attire was impeccable, and it was okay to let people look at her more, but her body was completely redundant, and there was nowhere to shrink. She remained silent throughout the meal.While waiting for the beets to be served, Chang Xin pulled her to the window to watch the street view, and excused herself to leave. Then Tong Shifang walked to the window and asked, "Has Miss Jiang been here?" Chang An whispered : "No." Tong Shifang said: "I

It was also the first time, and the food wasn't bad, but I'm still not used to it. "Chang'an said:" Are you not used to eating? Shifang said: "No way!"Foreign dishes are lighter, while Chinese dishes are much greasy.When I just came back, my relatives and friends greeted me for a few days, and my stomach was easily spoiled. "Changan looked at her fingers repeatedly, as if he wanted to count how many fingerprints were spiral and how many were dustpan... On the glass window, a small neon flower bloomed for no reason—it was reflected in a storefront, with a green heart and red petals, a lotus flower worshiping the Nile River, and a lily emblem of the French royal family...

Shifang hadn't seen a girl from his home country for many years, and he felt that Chang'an was a little charming, and he was a little happy.Before he went to study abroad, he had been engaged long ago, just because he fell in love with a female classmate, and opposed the family marriage to the death. The journey was long, and countless pen and ink lawsuits were filed, and almost fell out. His parents once severed his marriage. Donating money made him suffer a lot, and he just accepted him and terminated the contract.Unfortunately, his female classmate had an affair and abandoned him. When he was frustrated, he buried himself in reading for seven or eight years.He is convinced that his wife is still better in the old way, also because of the reaction.

After meeting Chang'an this way, both of them were interested.Changxin wanted to send the Buddha to the west, but no matter how enthusiastic she was, she was not qualified to speak to Chang'an's mother, so she had to ask Lanxian.Lan Xian insisted on refusing to say: "It's not that you don't know, your father is like your second mother's enemy, and never sees each other. Although I haven't blushed with her, no matter how good it is, there is no limit to it, why bother to ask for trouble? "When Chang'an saw Lanxian, he just shed tears, but Lanxian didn't show affection, so he had to agree to go for a walk.The sisters-in-law met and greeted each other, and Lanxian explained her intention.Qiqiao heard it at the beginning, but she was also happy, because she said: "Then please ask the third sister! I'm sick and sick, and I can't help it. I'm tired of the third sister. This girl is my heart disease. I am a mother." It can’t be said that I’m sorry for her. It’s the old rules, I’ll bind her feet; it’s the new rules, I’ll send her to school—what else? People like me who have been conditioned by heart and soul, as long as She has no scars, no numbness, no blindness, so no one wants it? But this girl is born to be a dou who cannot be supported. "

Now that the discussion is over, Lanxian will treat guests and have a blind date on both sides.Chang'an and Tong Shifang only acted as if they had never met each other, they only met once.Qiqiao was sick in bed and didn't make an appearance, so Chang'an got engaged calmly.At the banquet, Lan Xian and Chang Xin took Chang An's hand forcefully and handed it to Tong Shifang, who put the ring on her in public.The bride's family also returned the gift, and although the four treasures of the study were omitted, they were replaced with a new-style velvet pencil case, and a watch was added.

After the engagement, Changan secretly went out with Shifang several times.Basking in the autumn sun, the two walked side by side in the park, seldom talking, with a little bit of each other's clothes and moving feet in the corners of their eyes, the woman's powdery scent, and the man's light wild smell, this simple and lovely impression is It is the railing around them, which separates them from everyone.On the open green grass, many people were running, laughing, and talking, but they walked through a beautiful and silent corridor—an endless and silent corridor.Without speaking, Chang'an didn't feel any flaws.She thinks that the new style of communication between men and women "is all there is to it".As for Tong Shifang, because of his painful experience in the past, he was fundamentally skeptical about the exchange of ideas.He is content with having someone by his side.In the past, he hated the men in the novels. When they asked women to live together, they only said: "Please give me some comfort." Comfort is purely spiritual, but here it has become a synonym for carnal desire.But he now knows that the boundary between spirit and matter cannot be so clearly distinguished.Words are of no use after all.A long handshake is the comfort of compromise, because there are very few people who can talk, and even fewer people who really have something to say.

Sometimes when it rained in the park, Changan held up an umbrella, and Shifang held it for her.Across the translucent blue silk umbrella, thousands of raindrops shone like stars in a day.The stars of the day follow them everywhere, on the window of the car that is rotten with water droplets, when the car passes the red light and the green light, there is a nest of red stars flying outside the window, and another nest of green stars? Chang An came home with some random dreams under the starlight, and he became extremely silent.Always smile.When Qiqiao saw her, she couldn't help getting angry, so she said coldly: "Duo Duo has neglected the girl all these years, no wonder the girl rarely smiles. Now she jumped out of the door of Jiang's house and said her wish. If you are happier, you can't be happy." Don't put it on your face like this—it's chilling!" According to Chang'an's usual temperament, he wanted to retort, but Chang'an seems to have changed his person recently. .Qiqiao couldn't help her.

On the day of Chang'an's engagement, the eldest grandma Daizhen didn't go, and came to make up the congratulations after a few days.Qiqiao quietly called her sister-in-law, and said: "I think we'd better go out and inquire about it. We can't be reckless in this matter! The day before yesterday I seemed to scratch a little in my ears, saying that there is a wife in the country, and there is another overseas." Dai Zhen said : "The one in the country resigned without getting married. The same goes for the one overseas. They said they had been friends for several years, but somehow they failed." Qiqiao said: "Then there is another reason? A man's heart, say His voice has changed, he has changed, he still doesn't even accept the three media and six hires, let alone that crooked and hot guy? Do you know if he has anyone else overseas? I only have this one daughter, so I can't be confused Ruined her life, I myself have suffered from a matchmaker!"

Chang An sat by the side and pinched the palm of his hand with his nails, the palm turned red, but the nails turned white.As soon as Qiqiao looked up and saw her, she scolded: "You shameless girl, keep your ears up! Can you hear this? When we were girls, it was too late to mention the mother-in-law's house." Run away. Your Jiang family has been a scholar for generations, I'm afraid you will go to your grandmother's house who runs a sesame oil shop to learn some rules!" Chang An ran out crying.Qiqiao patted the pillow and said, "The girl is in a hurry to get married, so I can't do anything about it. The smelly smell is brought home. The name is her third aunt looking for someone, but in fact she is just taking her third aunt Make a cover. Mostly the uncooked rice has been cooked into cooked rice, so the third aunt came out to be a matchmaker. Everyone ganged up to fool me alone... It’s okay to fool me! To put it bluntly, the mother is the face of the brother where to put it?"

Another day, Chang An excused himself and slipped out. When he came back, Qiqiao didn't wait for Qiqiao to ask her, but was about to report her whereabouts. Qiqiao scolded: "Come on, come on, don't say a few words! What the hell are you doing in front of me? One day You let me grasp the real evidence──hmph! Don’t think that you are old and engaged, and I can’t beat you anymore!” Chang’an said anxiously: “I’ve broken the law by sending shoes to sister Xin? If you don’t believe me, ask your third aunt!” Qiqiao said, “Your third aunt has found a man for you, who will be your reborn parents, to raise your parents! I’ve never seen such a light-hearted person like you!  … I don’t see you anymore. Your family has provided for you all these years, and you only need to buy a servant to serve you. Where is it that you can’t stand it anymore? You can’t sit still at home for a moment?” Chang’an blushed, tears streaming down his face. drop down.Qiqiao breathed a sigh of relief, and said again: "At the beginning, I didn't want any good ones, but now I'm going to marry someone who is worthless, and they pick up the leftovers. Wouldn't it be a slap in the face? If he is a person, how can he live to thirty years old? Who, who traveled across the ocean, traveled hundreds of thousands of miles, and still haven't got a wife?"
