Chapter 11 The Golden Lock (11)

However, Chang'an is obsessed with obsession.Because both parties are not too young, and they have been engaged for less than a few months, the man entrusted Lanxian to discuss the wedding date.Qiqiao pointed to Chang'an and said, "Don't get married early, don't get married later, because you don't want to shoot for the two years of money! Next year, if the harvest in the fields is better, the dowry will be more tidy." Pay attention to these. Just follow the method of the new school, and save a little." Qiqiao said: "What new school and old school? The old school is nothing more than more pompous, and the new school is more affordable. It's still a bad luck for my mother's family!" Lan Xian said: "Second sister-in-law looks at it. Just do it, don’t tell me that Sister An is still arguing about whether it’s okay or not?” Everyone in the room laughed, and Chang An also smiled slightly.Qiqiao scolded: "Don't be ashamed! You have something in your stomach that you can't hold. What's the matter?"

?I can't wait to go through the door!The dowry is no longer required—whether you prefer it or not?Are you sure that he is the one trying to plot you?You can't overestimate yourself.What is it about you that people can see?Don't lie to yourself before it's too late!Didn't the surname Tong take a fancy to the Jiang family's family status!Don't look at your family's grandeur, princes and generals, it's not like that at all!He has long been a strong outsider, but he can't even hold up empty airs in the past two years.As for people, one generation is as bad as the next, so how can there be any relatives in the eyes of heaven and earth?The young masters don't know anything, but the young ladies know that they want a man with money—they are worse than pigs and dogs!My natal family should never have married the Jiang family back then, and cheated me for the rest of my life. I'm going to tell that boy surnamed Tong not to be fooled like me! "

Ever since the quarrel, Lan Xian has given up on this marriage.Qiqiao's illness gradually recovered, she got out of bed for a while, and then sat on the door every day, shouting to Chang'an's house from a distance: "If you want a wild man, you can go find him, just don't bring him to the door to recognize me as your mother-in-law. I'm so mad! I just want to keep my eyes out of my eyes and my heart out of my mind. It's the girl's grace to allow me to live for two more years!" Shouting a few words upside down could be heard all over the street.Naturally, the news spread among the relatives.

Qiqiao called Chang'an to her again, and suddenly shed tears and said, "My son, you know that people outside have ruined your length and shortness to the point where you are worthless! Ever since your mother married into Jiang's family, whoever is right? Snobbish, dogs look down on people, and I don’t know how much they angered me in the open and in the dark. Even your father, what good does he do to me, and I want to be a widow for him? I hope that your sister and son will grow up and win back some face for me. I don't hope that today will only end up like this!" As she spoke, she began to sob.

Hearing this, Chang'an was like a thunderbolt.No matter what her mother said about her, no matter how outsiders said about her, she couldn't control that much.Only Tong Shifang—he—what should he think?Does he still want her?Has his demeanor changed a bit since the last time we met?It's hard to say... She's so happy, she won't notice the small difference... Being caught between the physical pain and all kinds of stimuli during the rebooting period, Chang An couldn't stand it for a long time, but it's okay to hold on. She made it through, and now she suddenly felt that all her bones were out of joint, should she explain to him?He is no better than her brother, he is not her mother's child, he will never fully understand her mother's character.It's fine if he never sees her mother in his life, but sooner or later he will get to know Qiqiao.This is a matter of eternity, there are only those who have been thieves for a thousand years, but there are no ones who have been guarding against thieves for a thousand years-she knew what methods her mother would use?Sooner or later there will be trouble, and sooner or later there will be a rupture.This was the most perfect part of her life, and instead of letting others add an ugly tail to it, it would be better for her to end it early.A beautiful but desolate gesture... She knew she would regret it, she knew she would regret it, but she raised her eyebrows, pretending not to mind, and said: "Since Mother doesn't want to make this marriage, I'll go back Just get rid of them." Qiqiao was crying, but suddenly stopped, paused, and started crying again.

Chang An regained his composure, and went to make a phone call to Tong Shifang.Shifang was not free that day, so we made an appointment for tomorrow afternoon.What Chang An is most afraid of is that the intervening night, one minute, one moment, one moment, will gnaw into her heart.The next day, at the usual place in the park, Shifang came up to her with a smile, without saying hello to her—this was an expression of intimacy to him.He seemed to pay special attention to her today, and when walking side by side, he looked at her face repeatedly.With the sun shining brightly, Chang An felt that his eyelids were too swollen to lift up.Speak up while he's not looking at her.She softly called "Mr. Tong" with her hoarse voice, but Shifang didn't hear her.Well, let's talk while he's looking at her.She was surprised that she still had a smile on her face, and said in a low voice: "Mr. Tong, I think——our matter may be—let's talk about it. I'm very sorry." She took off the ring and put it in his hand, Cold rings, cold wet hands.She walked quickly, he was stunned for a while, then caught up and asked: "Why? Is there anything dissatisfied with me?" Chang An looked straight ahead and shook his head.Shifang said: "Then, why?" Chang'an said: "My mother..." Shifang said: "Your mother has never seen me." Chang'an said: "I told you, not because of you. With you It doesn't matter at all. My mother..." Shifang stood still.Is this a good reason in China?He hesitated for a moment, and she had already walked away.

The garden has been basking in the late autumn sun all morning and afternoon, like overripe fruit, falling down, falling down, emitting a fragrance.Chang'an Youyou suddenly heard the sound of the harmonica, and slowly played Long Long Ago──"Tell me that story, my favorite story in the past. A long time ago, a long time ago..." This is now, and it will change in a blink of an eye A long time ago, everything was over.Chang'an was obsessed, and went to find the harmonica player—to find herself.Walking against the sun, under the tree, a boy in yellow shorts was riding on the branch of the tree, playing the harmonica, but he was playing a different tune, which she had never heard before.A small tree, with sparse and bright sycamore leaves shaking like golden bells in the sun.Chang'an looked up, his eyes were dark, like a shower, tears covered his face, Shifang found her, stood quietly beside her for a while, Fang said: "I respect your opinion." Chang An picked up her leather bag to cover the sun on her face.

They continued to come and go for some time.Shifang wants to express that the purpose of the new character's girlfriend is not limited to finding a mate, so even though he broke off the engagement with Chang'an, he still invites her out often.As for Chang'an, she didn't know what kind of contradictory hopes she had to go out with him—and she refused to admit it even if she knew it.When they were engaged, they went out together in an open and aboveboard manner, and they had to hide it from the family, but now it has become a secret covenant.Shifang's attitude was always calm.Of course, she hurt his self-esteem a little, and at the same time he felt a little sorry for her, but "Why does a man have no wife?" The most solemn compliment a man gives to a woman is a marriage proposal.He gave up his freedom and gave her this generous gift. Although she "returned it with her heart", he did his best.This is a matter of benefit without cost.

No matter how delicate and awkward their relationship was, they were serious friends.They even started talking.Chang'an's new words often made Shifang laugh and said, "You are really interesting!" Chang'an gradually discovered that she herself was a "very interesting" person.Even Shifang himself will be amazed at how things will develop if this goes on like this. However, the sound of the wind reached Qiqiao's ears.Behind Chang'an's back, Qiqiao ordered Changbai to post a message to invite Tong Shifang to have a light meal.Shifang guessed that the Jiang family Xu was going to warn him not to let him break with their young lady, but he and Changbai had two cups of wine in the gloomy and spacious dining room, and talked about the weather, current situation, Not a single word about customs and customs has touched Chang'an.After the cold dishes were removed, Changbai suddenly stood up with his hands on the table.Shifang turned his head and saw a small old lady standing with the light behind her back at the door. She couldn't see her face clearly. She was wearing a blue and gray satin gown, holding a big red hot water bottle in both hands. maid.The sun was dim outside the door, and the stairs were covered with lichen of lake-green checked oilcloth, going up step by step, leading to a place without light.Shifang intuitively felt that it was a lunatic—for no reason, he was just terrified, Changbai introduced: "This is my mother."
