Chapter 197 The first ninety-sixth chapter of the treasure mirror shines brightly, the jade is soft and fragrant, and the warmth is infinite

As soon as Xiao Yu's hand reached the door, Yaoxian shouted, "You wait a while before leaving!" Xiao Yu was already desperate, and his heart was cold and sore, hearing the words, it was like a spring on a dead tree, and he immediately had hope.Hastily withdrew her hands and responded: "Sister, I'm not going." Looking back at Yaoxian, tears were shining, the corners of her eyes were rosy, and her star pupils were spinning wildly. Looking under the light, she looked more and more pitiful, knowing that her heart was broken and there was a turning point.Fang wanted to go closer to comfort her, but as soon as she turned her back, Yaoxian turned her gaze to the side of the bed, facing the back room and called out in a low voice: "Sister!" Meaning, how dare you ask again.He was hesitantly walking around, her heart beating wildly, Jiangxue walked out like tears, reached the side of the bed, and called out: "Sister." Yaoxian pointed to Xiao Yu, and said to Jiangxue: "Send Cousin Xiao out, Pay attention to see if there is anyone nearby. If there is someone, don't hide it from me. I am already a lonely, unsympathetic person, and I can't afford to be wronged and stigmatized. Knowing each other is the most important thing. You See how recklessly he came and how abruptly he left, but he was full of selfishness and never thought for others. My heart has become ashamed and ashes, and I have no hope for such a person. You go and come back quickly, don’t say anything, don’t worry about it. He hurt two of my sisters, and I became an orphan even more." After saying that, he lay sideways on the bed, without even looking at Xiao Yu again.

As a result, Xiao Yu's heart became cold for the second time, and he couldn't help calling his sister twice in a trembling voice.Yaoxian also ignored it.Still Jiangxue couldn't see it, she winked at him, pointed out the door, and said deliberately: "My sister's heart is hard, it can't be undone. In the middle of the night, it's very inconvenient, and there is another outsider sleeping behind the room. She has been crying all day, her teeth are not wet, her heart has been broken, and she has been seriously injured. There are many important things to do tomorrow morning. Let her rest early, don't make her so sad, please hurry up Go back." Seeing Jiang Xue's hint, Xiao Yu seemed to have something to say, although he was doubtful, but the matter was deadlocked, and there was no hope of recovery except for her to turn around.Since this kind of talk, if you don't go away, won't you get rid of your deep pity and love even more?Quickly replied: "Sister is right, I really deserve to die. I just watched my sister get angry, and I was so anxious that I forgot to ask her to rest." After finishing speaking, she shouted to the bed again: "Sister, just ask Take care of your body, don't be sad, I am willing to die, please rest early." Yao Xian still ignored.Xiao Yu had no choice but to sigh, followed Jiang Xue to open the door and walk out.When I arrived in front of the hall, I whispered to Jiangxue: "I was in a hurry when I came here. I only cared about visiting my sister first, and didn't bother to kowtow to my mother's spirit first. My sister blamed me for this. My sister should wait a while, let me kowtow." A few heads." Jiang Xue said: "There are people in the back room, although I have locked the hallway and won't break out, what are you worried about, you come back another day, isn't it the same?" Xiao Yu cried sadly: "I am at this time The position is chaotic, and all thoughts are lost. I don’t know if I can come or not? One thing is that our two families have such a deep bond, and my mother is the elder, and etiquette is indispensable; especially my mother loves me the most and treats me as her own. Today my sister is wronged and wronged, My mother’s spirit is not far away, so she must be able to learn my sincerity, not to mention that my mother has a will at the end of her life. I pray to her, maybe I will bless her in the dark, and entrust a dream to my sister, so that she can change her mind. Since there are people in the back room, I also I won’t be knocking on the Pan of God anymore.” Then, he smoked three sticks of incense made by the village, knelt before the coffin, and prayed in a low voice.

Jiangxueyuan knew that Yaoxian was cruel-hearted, and deliberately pretended to be pretentious. If he wanted to capture him, he would attack him first, so as to arouse his hatred against the enemy and never turn back.Seeing him so infatuated, I couldn't bear it, so I had to listen.Forced Xiao Yu to pray to get up, deliberately opened the front door and walked out, seeing no one around, then backed down to lead Xiao Yu off.When they got outside, they closed the door behind them, walked together behind the snowdrift in the corner, stood still and said, "Big cousin, why are you so dumb? You still blame her for being cruel, and you don't care about how filial she is to her mother, who did she die for?" A son-in-law has the affection of a son-in-law, and your son-in-law is more important than a son-in-law. Since she promised her life, didn't she expect you to share half of the burden of this sworn hatred? To be honest, she never Not long after my mother died, I missed you. When I didn't see you in the middle of the night, I was so angry and anxious. If I wasn't afraid that people would see through, I would have almost asked me to come to you. Who knew that it was so easy to expect you, and when you entered the door so recklessly, In the end, I hurriedly knocked on the door and broke in. I didn’t ask when my mother passed away or what happened after her death. I heard that she was asleep, but I didn’t ask her if she was in good health, if she had eaten, if she was asleep, and how she was. It seems that the adult of my family is dead, and broke into her bedroom without any scruples. Seeing her sleeping face-to-face, she ignored her, and the three-year-old child could also see that she was angry. We should be careful first, so as to comfort, Coax her out of bed and talk about it. But you don't care about whether there is suspicion or not when you go into the boudoir at night, and you will talk about it in the past. She is narrow-minded, and she behaves like you, so there is no reason to be sad? This is You made a good thing happen by yourself, and made a mess, who is to blame?"

Xiao Yu ate Jiang Xue's number of words, and while regretting, he must have the following, and when he heard the last sentence, there was nothing to turn around.He hastily pleaded: "My good sister, I don't have her, what's the point of living in this world? I know that my mistake is rude and careless. Sister listens to you, at least give me an idea to win back her heart. I am very grateful." At the end, Jiang Xue sneered and said: "No wonder sister sees you as useless. Do you still need to say clearly? This is all done by manpower, and it is not something that can be persuaded. I have given you a clear idea, so I won't do it right away. , I should have something to say, so I can say it. As soon as I come here, I will die and live, and I have no manliness at all. Not to mention my sister, even I can’t get used to it. There is no reason why you should do it. If you pretend to be crazy, you can’t even change a sentence, so what do you say?” Xiao Yu thought about it, and suddenly realized that Yao Xian wanted him to avenge his mother, so she couldn’t help being frightened. There was a big jump.At that time, I only wanted to win back my lover's heart, without thinking about it, and blurted out: "I understand what you said. I still think my sister really hates me, that's why. Please tell my sister that her enemy is mine." Enemies, just rest assured. But it's the same, one person counts the disadvantages, and the other counts the strengths. As a public, although I would die for her, I am not as clever and witty as her. Since the enemy is angry, we should have the same hatred and help each other. Secret business at any time, using her strengths to help my weaknesses, only then can I have the hope of success. To say it privately, the two of us grew up together, and our love is more than flesh and blood; , although they have never been married, they can be regarded as a couple in need. The situation is the same, the suffering is the same, the loneliness is miserable, and the words are sad. Fortunately, she has a sister like you who is of the same heart and one mind, and shares weal and woe; I have a brother on the surface, saying It looks like she has more blood and blood relatives than her, but in fact, she has different moods and does not conspire with each other. What hurts me the most is that it is only natural to take revenge on her father. It seems that I am not as good as her. Now I will take the revenge section as If there is no such thing, we should get together day and night, respecting and sympathizing with each other; if you turn to worry, slander, fear and ridicule, you will be afraid at every turn, and dare not meet each other. Da, if I have her, I will live, and if I don’t have her, I will die. In this life, I will always be a servant. As long as she speaks out, the sky will fall, and I dare to agree. I just ask her to make an agreement at any time before the big revenge. Hey, don't ignore me anymore, lest I die of lovesickness, I will be grateful." Jiang Xue was secretly alarmed when she heard Xiao Qing's disobedience with him.After he finished speaking, he smiled and replied: "You always love to confess, look at how many dead words you have said in this way. Please go home for now, I will bring these words to you. Listen or not, but you don't care. She is gone." Xiao Yu said anxiously: "She is most convinced by you, as long as you help me say more good things, there is no reason not to believe it. Good sister, please be careful, let me wait here for a while, and listen to your letter. Even if people don't come out, give me a secret signal. I have been suffering all day with anxiety and sadness, and I have some truth to go back, so I can sleep for a while." Jiang Xue asked: "How do you get this secret signal? How?" Xiao Yu said: "If she agrees with her heart, I will understand if you just throw a cup, plate, dish, etc. on the ground." Jiang Xue smiled and said, "You are so pathetic. He doesn't treat me... ..." Having said this, he suddenly stopped, feeling sore in his heart, turned around and left.Xiao Yu didn't understand the meaning of her words, she only thought she was referring to Yaoxian, but before she could confirm what she said, she had already left.Hurriedly catching up, she asked in a low voice: "Sister, what did you say?" Jiang Xue replied anxiously: "I know, don't worry, just go back and sleep peacefully, if you want to torture others, even I will ignore you."

Xiao Yu didn't dare to say any more, so he hurriedly said: "Please, please." He backed off.Because Jiangxue signaled no, no, no promise, she was unsure and wanted to wait for a while.Suddenly Jiangxue came to the door, turned around and waved her hands repeatedly, as if urging her away and not replying.I thought to myself: "I'm really stunned tonight. There are no walls in the house here, so I just pretended to go back, waited for her to enter the house, and then went around to listen to the truth behind the two of them under the window. How strong is the secret signal?" Turning his mind to it, he first waved his hand, walked towards the way he came, first went around to the side of the room, saw the lights of the mourning hall flickering on and off, and two shadowy figures flashed by the Yaoxian window, Knowing that he has entered the room, he didn't pay attention to himself.In a panic, he raised his breath and hid himself under the window of Yaoxian's room, listening quietly.The second girl's voice was soft, and she heard Yaoxian lamenting inside, and Jiangxue was persuading her, but she couldn't hear it clearly.The snow is extremely cold, the wind is penetrating through the body, the spine is cold, and the teeth are not up to snuff, but at this time, the opponent is fighting up and down, the vibration is loud, and I can't help it.I'm afraid that the two daughters will find out that if they play tricks again, it will be even more difficult to recover.I was so anxious that my heart was beating wildly, as if it was about to burst out.The more anxious you are, the more uncertain you are, the more ineffective your ears will be, and you will be panicked and helpless.After searching under the window, I finally found a small gap.Just when she leaned up to look inside, she suddenly heard Yaoxian calling from the room: "Sister Jiang, it sounds like there is someone outside the window, take a look. It's really getting more and more troublesome." Follow Jiang Xue's answer Said: "My sister is too thoughtful, it is obviously the sound of ice and snow breaking. How can someone be so obscene and unethical in the middle of the night? If someone sees him, will he survive if he is caught? You have to get up early tomorrow, please rest early, sister. .”

Xiao Yu was outside, how could he dare to continue listening, before he finished speaking, he was so frightened that he ran away several times.Fearing that the two women would peep out of the window, they avoided the front, and hid for a while at the side of the room, but no one came out.Looking outside with the probe, the lights in Yaoxian's room have been turned off, there is no sound at all, knowing that the ice and snow have frozen, he has never learned the lightness kung fu well, and there is a sound of walking, so he dare not linger any more.Feeling sore in the heart, the more I feel the whole body is icy cold, chilling to the bone, unbearably cold.Full of sorrow and thoughts, he hugged Yaoxian's bedroom a few times, looked around, and sighed sadly.Tears flowed down his face, his face moved slightly, he felt a little wrinkled, he raised his sleeve to wipe it off, it was cold and hard, and his sleeve was already frozen.I had no choice but to rub my cold hands together, revealing a mournful face that no one would see pity on, and ran back, thinking as I went, thinking to myself: "What the second daughter said is so confidential and important, if you underestimate me, how can you Confess a single word? Clearly thinking about family and hatred, and deliberately using aggressive tests so that I can work together to survive adversity. Especially when explaining marriage in person, without being the slightest bit of shame, it can be seen that I have been in love for a long time. I only hate myself for being obstinate , totally inconsiderate of her situation, sad, passionate and reckless, not tender. She changed her situation when she moved to a different place, and when she met a lover like this, she might be misunderstood and chilled. How can she be blamed for being angry? A sentence of reproach, but there is a hidden resentment between the eyebrows, and the affection is revealed. I also hate myself for being too careless, and my words of defense are completely unreasonable, and I don’t pay attention to check her tone and expression. Until she was very angry and gave the order to evict the guest. Although she was full of heartaches, she didn't say a word. Now that I think about it, it's too late. She ordered Jiangxue to send it out, as if she would take a turn with peace of mind. If she heard what was on her mind, she should swear to the death and go back immediately. Her sister is obviously a Nostrils out, the words have reached this level, but she still needs to listen to the walls, to find out what is behind the words. She is so clever, and her eyes and ears are so sensitive, she must have seen through it now. In fact, the more she blames, the more she shows emotion. Seriously, let her talk, it’s not a problem. According to a few ridicules like this, just turn off the light and ignore it, and say that I am a person with no morals, and there is a tendency to be disdainful, but it is extremely worrying." This doubt, thought Can't help turning to the bad side again, thinking: "We grew up with each other, and we have grown up with each other. Today, Yaoxian's family suffered a tragedy, and I am not the only one who lost his mother in the same disaster as her? According to the usual relationship, we should comfort each other. Xianglian is the one. In such a heavy snow and cold weather, at the beginning I closed the door firmly and refused, allowing me to stand frozen in the wind and snow, shutting the door and refusing to accept; later I reluctantly opened the door and went in, first ignoring the wall, and then asking all I wanted, without any comfort, In the end, I was still chased out of the gates. Later, eavesdropping under the window, don't say that the status has been determined, even if I count myself as more polite, it is also due to love and urgency. That's why she revealed her words. She didn't want to just say a few words in the warm room, and the poor man in the snowstorm would be at ease and free from endless worries and worries. Not only did she treat people like passers-by, but she said it so unbearably , Just turn off the lights and make a decision, and the fickleness will end here. I don’t know if she ignores me in the future, and if I really want to break up, what else do I have?" The more I thought about it, the more sad I became, and I couldn't help crying hoarsely.After crying a few times, my thoughts turned to the good one in a hurry.I also feel that Yaoxian is affectionate and reserved, and her words and deeds contain profound meanings. In order to motivate herself to try her best, she has no choice but to do so.She was only a little bit cold, and she was probably even more sad after she passed away at this time.I couldn't help feeling pity again, and shouted in a low voice anxiously: "Good sister, you have suffered a big loss today, don't be sad anymore!" The thought suddenly turned to bad, and then "What a cruel sister" "Sister" called countless times.

Like this, sometimes sad and sometimes happy, sometimes worried and sometimes hated, with a dazed expression and a shaky mood, and I don't know what to do.Sliding on the snow, two steps fast, two steps slow, thinking to myself, doing tricks all by myself, not realizing that I have entered the back door of my house.I was already full of grief, anger and complaints, but when I saw the light in the living room, I became more angry.The dark blame is that my younger brother is ignorant of affairs, and when he left, he repeatedly told him to only keep the magic lamp in front of his soul. If he lit the lamp so late at night and attracted people, wouldn't he be criticized again?Already angry, just about to explode, as soon as he walked in, he heard his brother send someone to the front door and walk out.From the dark room to the mourning hall, I looked out and saw that it was Hao Qianfu who I hated and feared next door, and I couldn't help being shocked.Shang Xing had scruples in his heart, he didn't make any publicity when he entered, and walked out of the dark room, otherwise wouldn't he be smashed?In this way, it is not sure when the submerged will come sooner or later, and the secret has not been leaked.In a hurry, he poured out all the grievances of that night on Naidi, and thought to himself: "This is the end of the matter, if you don't leak it, you can forgive him. If you let him spit out the secret, anyway, it will be difficult to discuss clearly, so you have to deal with him severely." At that time, he was so angry that he hid himself in the room and sat down in a rage. He really wished he could beat Naidi severely to vent his anger.Finally, Xiao Qing was lucky, when Xiao Yu arrived, the potential husband just happened to get up.Xiao Yu was filled with grief, anger, anger and anger at the same time, he was dazed and careless, and he didn't follow out to eavesdrop, but Xiao Qing covered it up with a few words, thinking that no one knew the truth.Even though Xiao Yu's resentment could not be dispelled, his conscience was still not lost, he knew that what he did was not in the right track, and he was guilty of being a villain, he was afraid that there would be troubles, so he didn't play the same game, he just reprimanded a few words angrily, and then lay down on the bed .And replaying what the sweetheart said over and over again, as if possessed by a demon, tossing and turning, sighing and sighing, hating for a while, loving for a while, happy for a while, and sad for a while.In the end, I realized that if I want to save my love, I will live side by side with the person I like, regardless of whether all the words and actions tonight are true or not, if I have to take revenge on her, it is absolutely hopeless.As long as she can kill her enemy, even if she really changes her heart, she can be saved.If you deliberately provoke the general, it can increase love.The more he thought about it, the more he was right, Fang felt that there was still a turning point, and he suddenly thought: "Revenge is not easy. Xiao Yi is the head of the whole village, and he is popular. If you kill the superior next, even if you succeed by luck, the villagers will definitely be angry. Everyone in the village regards Yaoxian as a disaster, so why not suspect her reason? Besides, Xiao Yi's martial arts inside and outside are extremely top-notch, and he is very sensitive. Even the three little children can't be easily dealt with Even if he is willing to take the risk, Mie Lun betrays him, and he can't get close, how can he assassinate him? If he wants to take advantage of him to teach martial arts, when he gets close to him, he will be caught by surprise and attack him secretly. Side stab and side attack, the enemy's hand slightly touches the body, if he is not caught, he will be knocked down. Under the eyes of everyone, even if he succeeds and his tracks are revealed, he will not escape. Whether it is day or night, light or dark, it is like throwing a stone with an egg. It will be broken at the touch, it's really harder than climbing to the sky. If you don't do it, your lover's heart can't be redeemed." No matter how I thought about it, I couldn't make up my mind, and I couldn't sleep a night because of the quarrel.Get up at dawn and wait for someone to make preparations for the mother's death.

Xiao Qing saw that he was being coerced by Yaoxian, so he must have bad intentions, and he was so anxious that he couldn't sleep peacefully all night.Xiao Yu was stunned, not only did he show no mercy to Naidi, but instead vented his anger on him because of what happened last night.As soon as he got up, he yelled and scolded him with excuses.After a short argument or two, he started to fight.Because it was the second day of the new year, the deacons spent most of the night to make up for the lack of sleep on New Year's Eve, and because they hated the dead, they were unwilling to come here one after another until noon.Mrs. Hao and his wife were eager to help each other, because when the late husband went back last night, he said that he was born with a disposition of hatred and evil, how could he tolerate it.If Fei Naizi had already agreed to Xiao Qing, he would not leak it, and he was even more afraid of causing the beans to be fried. Xiao Qing suffered from Xiao Yu's suffering, and almost wanted to go and declare it in public, and only then would he be satisfied with a big beating and scolding.Even if I hate it so much behind my back, I can't bear it when I see myself, so I have no choice but to not go.In the afternoon, Qianfu went to Xiao's house and made a perfunctory excuse, saying that the two elders caught cold at night and could not come.Xiao Yuben was at odds with him, at this time he was looking forward to the end of the matter as soon as possible, so that he could go to Cui's house to talk about his love, but Qian Fu was talking to his brother again, so he pretended not to hear him happily.Mr. and Mrs. Hao didn't come when they were sick, so they didn't need to pay attention to it, so they just ignored the past.It doesn't matter if these people came late, but Xiao Qing suffered enough, being scolded by Xiao Yu, helpless, he went to the coffin and cried loudly.When the time came for people to be buried, although Xiao Yu looked dizzy, after all the nature of mother and child, a great mourning was inevitable.Needless to say, Xiao Qing, everyone knew that he was young and pitiful, so they encouraged him in unison, so that they could lessen their sorrow.

After the potential husband saw that he was making a ceremony, he took advantage of Xiao Yu's absence and quietly asked about Ye Lai.Xiao Qing knew that he couldn't hide it, so he had to give a rough idea.The potential husband thought to himself: "Brother Nai is no different from a beast, but he has a pure nature. If two brothers are together, they will not be harmed, but will be troubled by others. Parents have persuaded him yesterday, so they persuade him to move to the master's house. Maybe he won't go. It's better to tell the master, let him make the decision, and ask him to go and rely on each other." He didn't say anything at the moment, but when he saw Xiao Yu coming, he comforted Xiao Qing a few more words, and then he resigned.After returning home, he changed his ski equipment, ran to Xiao Yi's house, and told the whole story about his brother.Xiao Yi pondered for a while, then replied: "It's not good to have only one descendant of my uncle, and it should be preserved, not to mention there is another good one. My nephew, Linghui, still has the ultimate nature. I will teach him to grow up. Said. Nephew Yu, he and Yaoxian Weishi are not a good couple. It is inevitable for young people to fall in love and have no scruples. If you say that they are ambitious and have ulterior motives, they are definitely not so bold. Even if they dare to make trouble, things will happen It can't be done. Since the two of them have been in love for a long time, and there are two mothers who have passed away, and after a hundred years, I simply let me decide to hire them and get married after serving them. As for the one level, Yaoxian Usually very ambitious, yesterday I saw her very sad, even if her nephew is not a human being, she will never be stained with her body and leave a lifelong stain. However, their love is very strong, and they have undergone tragic changes at the same time, so it is inevitable that they love each other Pitiful. Because the villagers hated Nai Mu, they inevitably angered the orphans, and dared not communicate with them openly, so they had to meet each other behind their backs. Who knew that the suspicion was even worse. Nephew Yu went there last night, so he will inevitably meet secretly from time to time. Now that you realize it, you must Pretend not to know, and avoid spreading the word. You must know that nephew Yu is unworthy, and nephew Qing can inherit it. Cui and Huang are close relatives, but there is only one orphan girl. Other changes made me feel uneasy. I only waited for the coffin to come out of the house on the sixth day of the lunar new year, so I invited nephew Qing to live with me. As for nephew Yu, as long as they are in heat and stop the ceremony, they will not go overboard. That's all." The potential husband didn't know that Xiao Yi knew that Wanqiu must have revenge before his death, because of the face of the fairy, he wanted to make a compromise, deliberately said that she would have no different plans, and secretly tried to save her in the future.Hearing the words, he didn't take it seriously, because he didn't have a conspiracy, it was inconvenient to speak in depth, so he paid attention.do not mention.

Xiao Yu was always ignoring him because of his potential husband, thinking of what happened last night, he was very suspicious.After the person left, he suppressed his resentment, barely finished the night obedience, called Xiao Qing into the room, closed the door, took a cane, and asked sharply: "Did you leak the secret last night?" After being beaten and angry, under the accumulative power, he looked flustered, so he said: "What's the matter?" Xiao Yu swiped a cane and hit him.Although Xiao Qing is several years younger, he usually puts in much more hard work and strength than he is willing to, but he just respects his elder brother and is obedient, not really invincible.Seeing that his family suffered a catastrophe, his mother died on the bed, the body was not buried, and he even forgot his family and went to find a private meeting with his lover. Last night, his expression and words seemed to be bewitched, and he wanted to plot something wrong.They didn't mourn during the day, but at night they bullied the weaker brother again, even if they didn't agree with each other, they beat them severely with whips, without any brotherhood, which made them feel cold and angry.Before I could hide, I was hit hard.Seeing that he didn't answer, Xiao Yu called him again the second time.Xiao Qing couldn't help it, endured the pain with tears in his eyes, and avoided it all the way, and shouted: "Mom just passed away, you and I are in the same breath, we depend on each other in adversity, we should love and respect each other, and cherish each other. I didn't do anything wrong , I came here by myself, why did you hit me?" Before he finished speaking, Xiao Yu swiped several times in succession, trying to dodge Xiao Qing's movements.Seeing that he was unreasonable, he chased and beat him endlessly, intending to run away.Xiao Yu felt that he was not as willing to take responsibility as before, so he became more and more furious, and shouted: "How dare you disobey me, where are you going!" After jumping over, he pinched his head on his back and gave another vicious blow.Xiao Qing was also really annoyed, smelling the wind in the back of his head, he turned his head to the side, followed by his body, and turned around.Taking advantage of Xiao Yu's cane hitting the door, causing Ye Bo to steal the peach, he grabbed the cane and pulled it, and took his hand.Kick the door open with one leg, and go out.Not wanting to run towards a woman with light feet and light hands, Xiao Qing rushed out, and the other party was also coming in a hurry, almost bumping into his arms with two blows.Xiao Qing's eyes were quick and his body was nimble. Just as he stood up, he caught a glimpse of a white figure running from the opposite side and shouted: "Not good!" In his busy schedule, he used the internal skills of the Xiao family to pass on his horse, reining in his horse from a precipice, and swayed to the left. Just put a little force on the corner of the coffee table next to him with one foot, and fly obliquely to the upper right.Just hearing the sounds of clanging, clattering, ping-pong, and oops, the mourning hall suddenly became chaotic.

It turned out that Xiao Qing was eager to avoid people, so he used too much force, and flew directly over the people's heads.When he fell, he turned his body outwards, he was only thinking about who it was, he didn't pay attention to his back, his heels were kicking on the corner of the god's table, and he kicked and broke the two-foot-high tin candlestick at the top.The first half and half of the candle fell to the ground, and the second half fell on the table, smashing several fruit plates before the funeral.At the same time, Xiao Yu saw that his brother had snatched the vine and rushed out of the door, and was not punished, so he became more and more angry, and followed him fiercely, flying to chase him out, and he was in a hurry.In the room there was only one half-lit and unextinguishable magic lamp, coupled with the wind brought by the three of them running longitudinally, the lamp flame flickered, and the scene became darker and darker.Xiao Yu was yelling and cursing in a low voice, his eyes blurred, seeing Xiao Qing standing up, he only knew that he was furious and rushed forward, not thinking that there was another person in front of him.The person who came didn't know if he had intentions, but he still ran forward when he saw someone on the opposite side.As a result, he couldn't hold back the momentum in the two strokes, and just bumped into his arms.The person who came was a woman again, and she fell down with an "oops".Xiao Yuli was so powerful that he knocked someone down, was startled, missed the grab, and leaned forward, only to be slapped in the mouth.He shouted in a low voice: "Are you blind?" Only then did Xiao Yu hear Jiang Xue's voice, and she couldn't help but panic and joy, she didn't care about anything else, when she hurriedly stretched out her hand to help, Jiang Xue had already risen from the ground , shouted in a low voice: "You bad guy who bullies your brother, who cares about you?" After finishing speaking, he turned around and wanted to leave. Xian poured out his heart and soul.Unexpectedly, Jiangxue would come.I entrusted her with it last night, so I knew there would be good news.Half of the face was hot from the slap, and I forgot to touch it with my hands.Unexpectedly, Jiangxue hated him for chasing and beating her sweetheart, and she stumbled again, feeling upset in her heart, so she slapped him first to count, and then deliberately pretended to sell it to Xiao Qing.When Xiao Yu saw that Jiangxue was about to leave, how could she let her go? Regardless of whether Xiao Qing was by her side or not, she hurriedly stepped forward, blocked the door, and begged, "My dear sister, I didn't see the truth for a while, and bumped into you by mistake. I will apologize to you, please don't take offense. Please sit in the room." Jiangxue replied: "It doesn't matter if you hit me, I just ask you, why did you hit him?" Xiao Yu said: "Sister, you don't know, It's hard to say, everyone is mad at him, let's go to the house and talk." Jiang Xue said: "I know he is a very good person, and he respects you the most. Mom died only two days ago, and if you bully him, I won't obey him." .” Xiao Yu knew that Yaoxian was most afraid of objections, so how could he dare to talk about the fact that her latent husband had walked out of the house when she came back last night, so she had to argue anxiously: "I hate him for not listening to the lesson, and wanted to scare him with a cane, but he turned violent again. It's evil, but it was taken away. Do you see that the cane is still in his hand, did he just put it down? He has learned some skills from outsiders, so he doesn't care about me as an elder brother. In the future, he will not beat me. Yes, I can still bully him? If you don’t believe me, you can ask him, did I hit him just now?” Seeing that Xiao Qing had put down the cane in her hand, Jiang Xue had just picked up the broken plates, bowls, and broken candlesticks. He took a pair of complete candlesticks from the bottom of the table and put them on, wiping his tears, as if he was extremely sad.The lover's eyes became more and more pitiful, and he hurriedly ran over when he heard the words, and asked softly with a smile on his face: "Master Qing, did elder brother hit you? Tell me, I will vent your anger on you." Xiao Qing first listened to the names of this shameless man and woman. The question and answer is already sad and angry, where will I see such a cheap look again.Shocked by his brother's prestige, he didn't dare to attack, just snorted, picked up the pile of broken sacrificial vessels, turned around and walked inside, without even looking at Jiangxue.Jiangxue was so bored, and suddenly remembered the incident of slipping and falling in the snow yesterday, and couldn't help feeling sore, a gust of cold air was sewn from the spine again, and went straight to the forehead, and tears rolled in secret.Xiao Yu still didn't know what was going on, and said angrily: "Sister, look at how damned he is, if you ask him with good intentions, why doesn't he make people angry with his backward appearance?" Jiang Xue said angrily, "It's all your fault, Take care of me!" Xiao Yu was afraid of being run over to Hao's house because the outhouse was across the stream from Hao's house, so he humbly asked to come in. Xiao Qing had already left, Jiangxue had no choice but to go downhill, and went to Xiao Yu's room together, and vented all her resentment on Xiao Yu alone.Sitting there just counting, and blaming him for not eavesdropping from the window last night, being considered a frivolous prodigal by Yaoxian.Good things, if you corrupt yourself, you have to make a clean break with him, and it will never have anything to do with it.Xiao Yu was so anxious that he couldn't help it, so he begged her again and again, asking her to save him.Only then did Jiang Xue say that after a night of hard persuasion by her, she was a little bit alive. "I'm only here to call you now. Go when no one is around in the middle of the night. The maid left by the enemy has already managed to get rid of her. There is no one at home, so you can talk. But success or failure depends on one action. Don't be the same as last night. Looking for trouble." When Xiao Yu heard this, his heart was filled with joy, and his tears turned into laughter.He also blamed Jiangxue: "Why don't you say such a good voice? Otherwise, I would have left with you a long time ago. Wouldn't my sister wait for a long time and blame me again? You are delaying time. Here, Hao and his son are spies. Break in and see through, what should I do?" While talking, he was busy dressing and sledging.Jiang Xue stopped her and said, "What are you busy with? It's still early. I've just done things for you, and you're weird again. Will you still use me? If I'm afraid of people, I won't come here. My sister is Miss Qianjin. What about me?" , her life was saved by her family. Only the benefactors who died knew about it. Don’t say that her family background is ordinary, but it’s really good. She has always been a girl of her family. People can see through it, since I alone bear this notoriety, even you won’t get it. I have put so much effort into you, and instead of thanking me for what I think, I complain, is it so difficult to be a good person?” Xiao Yu hurriedly thanked him and said some words of gratitude.Jiang Xue slightly annoyed: "I don't like to listen to appearances. What's the use of expressing gratitude? In such a snowy night, without avoiding suspicion, and carrying a heavy burden, she ran quietly and risky, half of which was naturally for my sister, who wanted to fulfill her. You guys will make a good couple in the future, but half of my intention is still there, you know?" When Xiao Yu heard it, her words became more and more deviant.I misunderstood for a while, thinking that she also fancy me, and wanted to imitate Ying and Huang with Yaoxian and have two daughters together.Jiangxue is beautiful and smart, Yaoxian and her are already in the same flesh and blood, if this move is approved by Yaoxian, it is not a good thing from the beginning.But Yaoxian is extremely witty and unpredictable, and he often falls into her tricks.In case the two sisters have discussed it and come to test themselves, the woman is very jealous, and this breakup will be even more difficult to recover, so how dare you do it rashly.Then he pointed at her and said: "Sister, fulfilling my marriage is no different from a life-saving benefactor. Since ancient times, great virtues have never been repaid, not to mention my body, which has been promised to Sister Yaoxian. I have no teeth, and I will live and die. I can't Telling lies without conscience, if a girl is useful to me, I still have to listen to her. Even if I go through fire and water for you, it is out of her will, and it cannot be counted as my reward. Other things outside the body, how can a girl look up to her What?" Jiang Xue saw that he still didn't understand why he came, and she suspected that she wanted to marry him, so she felt ashamed and angry.It's hard to say what's on your mind, but the opportunity is rare, so don't take advantage of it. When he met Yaoxian when he was young, after some pretentiousness last night, it was full of tenderness and affection. The relationship between the two is definitely much deeper than his own. he lives?When I was in a hurry, I couldn't help shaking my heart, stood up, and said angrily: "You treat me like a human being with these words? Didn't I cry and persuade my sister last night, can I have today? I explained everything , I still pretend not to understand, I’m so mad!" Xiao Yu was terrified, and said that she was really confused, unpredictable, and that you and I are as close as flesh and blood, so why not tell me clearly if there is anything wrong.Jiang Xue said: "You can ask my sister about me, and she is very willing. I am just like my sister at this time, I only have one life, so I am not afraid of being shy. Originally, I wanted my sister to tell you by herself, but My heart is broken. This is simply a sin of my previous life. I had to make a decision earlier, so I told you. I don’t want to repay anything else, as long as you speak a few words for me and ask me to understand. It’s best to ask him to share with you. Let me say something face to face, if I can do what I want, don’t say it anymore, if you really hate me, I will die of this kind of heart in the future, and I will do my best for my sister, and repay her family’s benefits to me. Whether it’s okay or not, please From now on, don't use your elder brother's prestige to bully others. Don't look at how many years you are older than him, but as a human being, you are not as good as him in anything. You should understand this, right?" When Xiao Yu heard the words, Fang Shi suddenly realized.It is expected that she has been fond of her brother for a long time, and she can't control herself because of her passion.She thought to herself: "If her two sisters can become sisters-in-law, it would be a perfect fit. However, the brother's temperament is docile on the outside, but stubborn on the inside. He didn't like dealing with girls since he was a child, especially when he was rude to Yaoxian Luomo. So he didn't love him, It's also because of this. He was young and confused, and he was beaten and scolded again and again last night. If he uses both soft and hard tactics in the future, even persuasion and coercion, it may be okay. At that time, if he asked him to say yes, he would say that Jiangxue was a shameless and lowly maidservant. Answer. He even said that the whole family was in a terrible disaster, so they ordered marriage, became mad, why should he be a child, etc., and put forward a long piece of reasoning, so that people have nothing to answer, isn't it just asking for boredom? " Think Reply politely, let's take it easy for the time being, wrap it up on yourself, and it will definitely make you married in the future.Just halfway through the conversation, Jiang Xue sneered and said, "I have also studied with my sister for two years. Knowing each other is the most important thing. People have their own ambitions. If things are forced, if you can't talk about it, you can do it. What's the point? Let’s take you as an example. You have nothing to do with good conduct, knowledgeable martial arts, and intelligence. How can you be worthy of my sister? Isn’t it because you are dedicated to your feelings, sincere to her, and will not betray you in the future? I just want you to represent me. Let me ask a few words, so that I can make up my mind. It's not that he has to do it, and I will never force it. When it comes to it, even if you repay me. If it doesn't work, I will admit it, and I will die in a girl's horn. I will never blame anyone. The time is coming Why don't you just delay it?" Seeing that she was determined, Xiao Yu had no choice but to agree.When he was busy looking for Xiao Qing in the back room, who knew that Xiao Qing saw Jiang Xue came here at night, her whereabouts were secretive, she entered the room and did not leave, suspected of some conspiracy, went back to the main room early, eavesdropped for a while, gritted her teeth, and cursed secretly: " There is such a shameless woman in the world, who said that I will not marry a wife, and even if I marry, I will not want you." Seeing Brother Nai walking out, he knew he wanted to trouble him, so he hurriedly dodged into the shadows.As soon as Xiao Yu entered the back room, Jiang Xue also quietly followed behind, as if secretly asking Xiao Yu to be a lobbyist and whether she was dedicated to her.Xiao Yu was busy going to meet Yao Xian, hoping to make an agreement to leave soon.He thought that his brother was crying in the dark room behind him, and Jiang Xue followed Xiao Yu intently, neither of them saw anyone hiding between the walls of the outer room.萧清知道兄长天良已丧，难免威逼纠缠，又要怄气，趁二人入内之便，索性溜走。到了门外，纵身上屋，再由屋顶施展轻功，踏着积雪，绕到后进屋上待了一会儿，侧耳往下静听。萧玉是由后屋又找向前面，萧清知他早就想走，后门未关，便轻轻纵落，如捉迷藏一般，由黑地里掩了进去，仍藏在灵堂隔壁屋内，偷偷听乃兄动静。 萧玉因前后进各房找遍，不见兄弟踪迹，又点了一个火捻子，二次到处寻找。做贼心虚，还用一块椅垫挡住向外一面，以防外人窥见。因为情急心慌，绛雪始终掩在他的身后，也未觉察。萧清进屋时，萧玉刚由后屋走到灵堂外去，见兄弟仍然无踪，气得乱骂：“该死的东西，往哪里撞魂去？这样要紧关头，害我苦找，又不好大声喊的。你要是去到郝家，向老鬼、小鬼诉冤去，那除非你不回来，再要为你尽耽搁时候，姊姊等久怪我，回来非跟你拼命不可。”绛雪见萧清不在，料知成心避出，决难寻回。又听萧玉一个人自言自语捣鬼，也恐瑶仙等久悬念，心里一凉，不禁“唉”了一声。萧玉闻声回顾，知她卫护兄弟，适说狠话，谅被听去。方恐嗔怪，绛雪却道：“你等不得，那就走吧。只要诚心照我话做，也不必过于逼他，在这三两天内给我一个回音，就承情了。”萧玉忙道：“那个自然，这样再美满不过。他又不是疯子，我想他一定喜欢，决无不愿之理。”绛雪闻言，似有喜色，忽又双眉一皱，叹口气道：“你倒说得容易，要知这是我前一世的冤孽魔债。不用找了，走吧。”萧玉巴不得说此“走”字，就势回步。因见绛雪钟情太甚，只图讨她喜欢，边走边道：“他决不敢不听我的话，真要不知好歹，看我饶他！这时不见，或许往郝家告状去了呢。”绛雪道：“这人天性最厚，任多委屈，也决不会坏你的事。不是见我不得，便是怕你有话避人，少时又欺负了他，躲出去了。向外人乱说，一定不会这样。你走后门，我走前门，分路出去，也许能遇上呢。但是你想他听你话，以后再也不可欺负他了。” 萧玉忙着快走，口里应诺。匆匆整理好了雪具，先送绛雪走到前面，探头细看，郝家灯光尽灭，谅已全家入睡。放放心心催着绛雪穿上雪具，约定同行地点，出门上道。赶急闩门，往后门跑去。萧清知道此时再不出面，必疑自己向外人泄漏机密，回来又是祸事。想了想，料与情人相见心急，必无暇多说。听他回转，故意出声走动。萧玉见兄弟忽然出现，虽然急怒交加，一则心神早已飞走，无暇及此，二则守着绛雪之诫，事须好商，不便发作。匆匆停步，喝问：“你往哪里去了，如何寻你不到？”萧清知道他适才没敢高声呼喊，随口答道：“我自在后房想起爹妈伤心，后来口渴，见崔家丫头在房内，不愿进去，摸黑到厨房喝了半瓢冷开水，哪里都未去。没听哥哥喊，哪晓得是在找我？”萧玉将信将疑，不及盘问，只低喝道：“表婶临终，已收绛雪妹子为义女了。她是你二表姊，以后不许再喊丫头名字得罪人。这会儿没工夫多说。今晚你再放个把奸细进来，就好了。”随说随走，说完，人已往后门跑去。 萧清见乃兄毫无顾忌，一味迷恋瑶仙，天性沦亡。神志全昏，早晚必定受人愚弄，犯上作乱，惹那杀身之祸。又是心寒，又是悲急，暗中叫不迭的苦。见人已走，只得去把后门虚掩，将神灯移向暗处，室灯吹灭，不使透光，以防潜夫再来叩门。也不敢再出声哭泣，只趺坐在灵前地上，对着一盏昏灯，思前想后，落泪伤心。暗祝阴灵默佑兄长悬崖勒马，迷途早返。一面再把潜夫所劝洁身远祸，移居叔父家中的话，再四考量轻重利害。最终寻思：“兄长受了贱人蛊惑，无可谏劝，祸发不远。自家虽是萧氏宗支，先世不曾同隐，情分上本就稍差。父母在日，与村人又不融洽。再经这一场祸变，难免不怨及遗孤，加心嫉视。安分为人，日久尚能挽转。若做那桑间濮上等荡检逾闲的丑事，村人已是不容；再要为色所迷，受挟行凶，有甚悖逆举动，不但本人难逃公道，自己也必受牵连，为时诟病，有口难分。纵不同谋助逆，也是知情不举。好了，受些责辱，逐出村去；一个不好，同归于尽。弟兄同难，原无所用其规避。但是父母已被恶名，他又多行不义，生惭清议，死被恶名。自己不能干蛊，反倒随以俱尽，父母血食宗祠由此全斩，不孝之罪岂不更大？何况他还要强逼娶那无耻丫头，不允，日受楚辱，更伤兄弟之情；允了，不特心头厌恶，以后事败更难自拔。”越想越难再与同处，决定敷衍过了破五，灵棺一葬，便即离去，搬到叔父家中避祸，以免将来波及，反而更糟。日夜悲思，疲劳已极，主意拿稳，心神一定，不觉伏到蒲团上面，昏沉入梦。do not mention. 且说萧玉出门，踏上雪橇，赶上绛雪。假说兄弟没有见到，以免无言可答。一路加急滑行，仗着沿途人家绝少，又都夜深人睡，一个人也未遇见。赶到崔家，遥见灯光全熄，全屋暗沉沉，料想来晚，瑶仙久等生气，以入睡相拒，好生焦急。又不敢埋怨绛雪，得罪了更难挽回，急得不住唉声叹气。绛雪明知他心意，也不去理他。快要到达，方对他道：“玉哥，叹气作甚？来晚了吧？”萧玉见她反而奚落，忍不住答道：“你还说哩，都是……”说到“你”字，又缩回去。绛雪怒道：“都是什么？都是我耽搁的，害了你是不是？”萧玉忙分辩道：“妹子，你太爱多心了，我哪里说你？我是说，都是我命苦，把心挖出来也没人知道，真恨不如死了的好呢。”绛雪冷笑道：“那倒用不着费那么大事，少埋怨人几句就好了。我既说得出，就担得起。你屋还未进，就着急做什么？”说时已到堂屋门前。萧玉见一排几间屋没一处不是黑的，料定瑶仙生气无疑。昨晚已经吃过苦头，哪敢再冒昧闯门而入。见绛雪推开堂屋门，走到瑶仙门前掀帘而入，心乱如麻，也没留神细看，恐又见怪，只得站在门外候信。 方在犹疑不定，忽见绛雪在房内将头探出帘外，细声说道：“到了家屋，怎不进来，还要喝一夜寒风么？请你把中间堂屋门关好，上了门闩。我冷极了，要回房去烤火，不由前面走了。”说时，萧玉瞥见帘内似有微光透映，又不似点灯神气。闻言如奉纶音，不等说完，诺诺连声走将进去，放下雪具，匆匆关好堂屋门，朝灵前叩了三个头。慌不迭掀帘钻入一看，室内无灯无火，冷清清不见一人，仅里面屋内帘缝中射出一线灯光。不知瑶仙是喜是怒，许进不许，正打不出主意。忽听里屋通往后间的门响了一下，仿佛有人走出，跟着又听瑶仙长叹了一声。萧玉忙也咳嗽一声，半晌不听回音，提心吊胆，一步步挨到帘前，微揭帘缝一看，忽觉一股暖气从对面袭上身来。室内炉火熊熊，灯光雪亮，向外一排窗户俱都挂着棉被。绛雪不知何往，只剩瑶仙一人，穿着一身重孝，背朝房门，独个儿手扶条桌，对着一面大镜子，向壁而坐。不由心血皆沸，忍不住轻唤了声：“姊姊，我进来了。”瑶仙没回头，只应声道：“来呀。”萧玉听她语声虽带悲抑，并无怒意，不由心中一放，忙即应声走进。瑶仙偏脸指着桌旁木椅，苦笑道：“请坐。”萧玉忙应了一声，在旁坐了。见瑶仙一身缟素，雾鬓风鬟，经此丧变，面庞虽然清减了许多，已迥非昨日模糊血泪，宛转欲绝情景。本来貌比花娇，肌同玉映，这时眉锁春山，眼波红晕，又当宝镜明灯之下，越显得丰神楚楚，容光照人，平增许多冷艳。令人见了心凄目眩，怜爱疼惜到了极处，转觉欲慰无从，身魂皆非己有，不知如何是好。坐定半晌，才吞吞吐吐道：“好姊姊，你昨日伤心太过，我又该死，害你生气。回去担心了一夜。今天稍好些么？人死不能复生，姊姊还是保重些好。”说完，见瑶仙用那带着一圈红晕的秀目望着自己，只是不答，也未置可否。看出无甚嗔怪意思，不由胆子渐大，跟着又道：“姊姊，你这个弟弟昨天也是新遭大故，心神悲乱，虽然糊涂冒昧，得罪姊姊生气，实在一时粗心，出于无知，才有这事。刚才因绛妹怕走早了，防人知道，来得又晚一些。昨晚我心都急烂了，望好姊姊不要怪我吧。”说完，瑶仙仍望着他，不言语。萧玉面对这位患难相处的心头爱宠，绝世佳人，真恨不能抱将过来，着实轻怜密爱一番，才觉略解心头相思之苦。无如昨晚一来，变成惊弓之鸟，再加上瑶仙秋波莹朗，隐含威光，早已心慑。惟恐丝毫忤犯，哪里还敢造次。又想不出说甚话好，心里也不知是急是愁，仿佛身子都没个放处。由外面奇冷之地进到暖屋，除雪具、风帽留在堂屋外，身着重棉，一会儿便出了汗，脸也发烧，又不便脱去长衣。心爱人喜怒难测，尚悬着心，呆了一会儿。 萧玉还在忸怩不安，瑶仙忽然轻启朱唇说道：“你热，怎不把厚棉袍脱了去？”萧玉闻言，如奉纶音，心花大开。忙即应声起立，将长衣脱去，重又坐下。瑶仙忽又长叹了一声，流下泪来。萧玉大惊，忙问：“好姊姊，你怎么又生气了？是我适才话说错了么？”瑶仙叹道：“你适才说些什么，我都没听入耳，怎会怪你？我是另有想头罢了。你这两天定没吃得好饭，我已叫绛妹去配酒菜、消夜去了。等她做来，你我三人同吃，一醉方休，也长长我的志气。”萧玉知她母仇在念，情逾切割，怎会想到酒食上去？摸不准是甚用意。想了想，答道：“我这两天吃不下去，姊姊想吃，自然奉陪。”瑶仙玉容突地一变，生气道：“事到今日，你对我说话还用心思么？”萧玉见她轻嗔薄愠，隐含幽怨，越觉妩媚动人，又是爱极，又是害怕，慌不迭答道：“哪里，我怎敢对姊姊用心眼？实对姊姊说吧，现时此身已不是我所有，姊姊喜欢我便喜欢，姊姊愁苦我便愁苦，姊姊要我怎么我便怎么。不论姊姊说真说假，好歹我都令出必行，粉身碎骨，在所不辞哩。”瑶仙闻言，微笑道：“你倒真好。”萧玉方当是反话，想要答时，瑶仙忽伸玉腕，将萧玉的手握住，说道：“你当真爱我不爱？”萧玉先见瑶仙春葱般一双手搁在条桌上面，柔若无骨，几番心痒，强自按捺，想不到会来握自己的手。玉肌触处，只觉温柔莹滑，细腻无比。再听这一句话，事出望外，好似酷寒之后骤逢火热，当时头脑轰的一下，不由心悸魄融，手足皆颤。爱极生畏，反倒不敢乱动，只颤声答道：“我、我、我真爱极了！”瑶仙把嘴一撇，笑道：“我就见不得你这个样子，大家好在心里，偏要表出来。”随说随将手缩回去。萧玉此时手笼暖玉，目睹娇姿，正在心情欲化的当儿，又看出瑶仙业已心倾爱吐，不再有何避忌，如何肯舍。忙顺手一拉，未拉住，就势立起挨近身去，颤声说道：“好姊姊，我今天才知道你的心。真正想死我了。”边说边试探着把头往下低去。瑶仙一手支颐，一手在桌上画圈，一双妙目却看着别处，似想甚心思，不怎理会。萧玉快要挨近，吃瑶仙前额三两丝没梳拢的秀发拂向脸上，刚觉口鼻间微一痒，便闻见一股幽香袭入鼻端。再瞥见桌上那只粉团般的玉手，愈发心旌摇摇，不能自制。正待偎倚上前，瑶仙只把头微微一偏，便已躲过。回眸斜视，将嘴微努道：“人来了是甚样子？放老实些，坐回去。我有话说。”萧玉恐怕触怒，不敢相强，只得返坐原处，望着瑶仙，静候发话。等了一会儿，瑶仙仍是面带笑容，回手倚着椅背，娇躯微斜，面对面安闲地坐在那里，一言不发。萧玉见她今日哀容愁态全都扫尽，目波明媚，口角生春，似有无限情愫含蓄在内。不由越看越爱，心痒难搔。早知不会见怪，深悔适才胆小退缩，将机会错过，未得稍微亲近，略解多少相思之苦。 正打不出主意，借甚机缘二次发动。瑶仙见他呆望，嫣然笑道：“你想什么？我有哪点好，值得你这样爱法？”萧玉闻言，心花怒放，赔笑答道：“姊姊，你玉骨冰肌，灵心慧质，我想天上神仙也未必有你这样美丽，怎叫人不爱呢？”瑶仙见他口里说着话，手却悄悄伸将下去在拉坐下椅子，似想挨近，笑道：“呆子，你拉椅子做什么？要坐过来，就大大方方把椅子搬过来，莫非挨得近些还有甚好处么？”萧玉吃她道破，不由脸上一红，乘机涎脸笑答道：“好处多呢，我得和姊姊稍微亲近，死也甘心，便叫我做神仙我都不换。我跟姊姊同坐一起吧。”随说随又起立，走向瑶仙身侧，一面留神觑着瑶仙面色喜怒，一面移坐过去。瑶仙所坐靠椅本宽，可容二人并坐。萧玉玉肩相并，息胜吹兰，目觑瑶仙并无怒容，自觉心口怦怦乱跳。正待再进一步，回手挽肩相偎相倚，瑶仙只将身子微侧，人已轻巧巧离座而起，笑道：“少爷，这把椅子好，我让你如何？”萧玉慌不迭伸手想拉时，瑶仙一偏身转向椅后，手指朝萧玉脸上轻轻刮了一下道：“没羞的东西。”萧玉猛觉一股温香自瑶仙袖口透出，不禁心中又是一荡，忙伸手一把拉住瑶仙的手腕。方觉柔腻莹滑，无与伦比，瑶仙已甩手夺开，斜睨萧玉，白了一眼，翩若惊鸿，往外屋走去，萧玉忙喊：“好姊姊莫走，我不敢了。”待要追出，瑶仙隔帘微嗔道：“我有事去，就来。又不听话了么？”萧玉忙应：“我听，我听。”接着便听履声细碎，走向别屋中去。 萧玉独坐室中，回味适才情况，直似痴了一般。心神陶醉，周身火热，通没一个安顿之处。彻骨相思，一朝欣慰，一心只盼瑶仙顷刻即回。看今夜情景，纵不能销魂真个，也必可以相偎相抱，得亲玉肌，爱她一个半够。这时任有天大的事，也都置之度外了。谁知等了一会儿，全然无信，连绛雪也不见到来。耳听室外铜漏水声滴滴，算计天已不早，家有重丧不容不归。自己一肚皮的话，一句尚未向瑶仙倾吐。当这千金难买的光阴，平白糟掉，岂不可惜？始而心焦。明知二女必在别屋，以前也曾去过，一找就到。有心寻她回来，无奈玉人难测，闺令森严，不容假借。自己又曾答应惟命是从，万一借此相试，误走了去，将她惹恼，如何弯转？想去不敢，不去又急得毛焦火燎，心旌悬悬；越等越情痴，满腹热爱无从发泄，倏地起身扑向瑶仙床上，先抱起瑶仙常睡的枕头，连亲带嗅，搂得紧紧，低声喊道：“好姊姊，亲姊姊……”发狠亲热了一阵。后又得到瑶仙两只绣鞋，抚摸亲爱，朝鞋里不住乱亲乱闻。低声直唤：“好姊姊，爱死我了。” 似这样狂热虚爱了一阵，二女依旧一人未来。渐渐爱极生恨，在室中抓发捶胸，低骂：“狠心姊姊，害得我好苦！”不禁伤心，落下泪来。刚在酸楚难受，忽听身后有人嗔道：“好！你骂姊姊，我去告诉她去，看还对你这个没良心的好不？”萧玉大惊，回头一看，正是绛雪，三不知掩了进来，正站在自己身后，手里捧着一个木菜盘。绣鞋正在手内，床上枕被也都零乱，惟恐真去告发，慌不迭将鞋先藏在怀中，忙着作揖打躬道：“好妹妹，亲妹妹，我哪敢骂姊姊？谢谢你，她刚对我好一点，你一告我，就全糟了。”绛雪嗔道：“说你没良心，还不认。她才对你好一点么？这比骂她还要可恨。”萧玉信以为真，急得一面打躬，一面慌不迭分辩道：“她对我真好极了！我怕你告，才那样说的。谢谢妹妹，成全我吧。再说，她走来听见就糟了。” 话刚说完，忽听瑶仙从别屋中走来。口喊：“绛妹，打帘子，我腾不出手。”萧玉方在惶急，绛雪笑道：“姊姊说你呆子，一点不差。也不帮我接接东西，尽说这些空话有甚用处？”萧玉才想起绛雪手里有托盘，忙即应声接过，放向桌上。绛雪随转身将帘揭起，瑶仙也用木盘托着一个小火锅和好些食物走了进来，笑对萧玉道：“大少爷，受等受等。这火锅是用鸡汤煮，现吃现下的抄手（即馄饨），外配糟冬笋、梨窝菌油、风鸡、烧腊鸭子和两盘四馕腊味。这都是妹儿见我两娘母年前没心肠办年货，她私自做的，也都是你爱吃的东西。今夜我安心振起精神，高高兴兴消个好夜，补补我们三个这些天的苦。快请一同享受吧。”萧玉见了瑶仙，不由得又喜又恨，暗忖：“你原来帮着绛雪做消夜裹抄手去了，谁稀罕吃这些东西？与其这样，还不如早来一步，领你的情呢。又偏要来在绛雪后面，当着人，一定又是拿架子，连手都不能挨了。”心中怨望，却不敢现于辞色，忙说：“谢姊姊厚意。只是良宵苦短，为乐不长，是件恨事呢。”瑶仙道：“初春夜长，包你吃完回去，还来得及。今天过完还有明天，就这一夜工夫完了么？明天一黑，你就想法子自己来。好在你那兄弟虽不和你同心，准定不坏你事。我已拿定主见，不畏天命，不恤人言，好了在此，不好同走，还怕什么？不过不像你这位呆相公，只图眼前，不作长久计算罢了。我姊妹都饿了，快吃吧。”说时，绛雪已把杯盘菜碟摆在旁边八仙桌上，火锅放在当中，由木
