Before leaving, he wanted to give the money to Xun Kuang, but Xun Kuang urged him to take it back. He mainly wanted to collect money from the little girl, and he couldn't afford to lose that person!
Su Waner giggled, turned around and went back. Before leaving, she asked Xun Kuang to wear two more clothes. It was cold!
Xun Kuang nodded in agreement.
Then the little girl turned around and was about to leave, but after running out for two steps, she ran back and signaled Xun Kuang to bend down.
Xun Kuang knelt down and looked at Su Waner.
Su Waner whispered: "Senior brother, please find a sister-in-law quickly, so that you won't be alone without a place. I heard from my mother that my father just wandered around back then, but since he got married, he has been sticking to my mother. "
After saying that, Amelia Su turned and left.
Looking at Su Waner's back as she skipped home, Xun Kuang smiled, thinking that this little girl, if not the Queen's sister, was so rare!
but.
When thinking like this, Xun Kuang decided to leave with his hands in his sleeves again.
But when he looked at his hand, he was suddenly startled.
Mainly I thought about the little hand I held just now, the person on the street, and the misunderstandings of others.
Also thought of
When he was young, he also dreamed of having children.
The girl's name is Xun Yuebai, named after Qiu Yuebai in Jiangxin.
As for the boy, his name is Xun Junyi, named after I have never seen a gentleman, and my heart is sad. When I saw it, I stopped, and when I stopped, my heart became confused.
But
I thought about what Su Waner said about finding a junior sister-in-law or something like that.
Xun Kuang couldn't help but think of Ji Shuying.
But it only took a moment, and he immediately shook his head, unable to think about it.
then
I couldn't help but think of that girl, and even more so, I thought of the name of my daughter and son together with that girl, and there was even a fuss at that time.
but.
It's all over, after all, she has her days and I have my dirty days.
Then, Ji Shuying appeared in his mind for no reason, thinking that he should be celebrating his birthday now. After all, there was Gu Chiyu accompanying him.
Thinking of this, Xun Kuang showed a self-deprecating smile on his face, and then shook his head.
Xun Kuang, Xun Kuang.
It is said that literati are very sad at night. If there is some snow and rain and the scenery is beautiful, the sadness will be even stronger.
What kind of layman are you, Xun Kuang, and you still imitate the literati?
Thinking this, Xun Kuang turned around, hey! Let's go to Qingya Restaurant. Your Su Zifeng family has a great business. Why don't you treat me to more meals and drinks?
Thinking like this, Xun Kuang has a place to go.
just
Just after Xun Kuang turned around, he froze on the spot.
Xun Siye, who was regarded by Yang Shanchang, Su Wenqing and other ministers as the most sharp-tongued and sharp-tongued person in the court, at this moment, did not know what to say. .
Just holding the penny in my sleeve.
The penny given by the woman in front of me.
For more than ten years, from the beginning, I miss the woman heartbrokenly, and then later I feel relieved. I don’t know whether it’s the woman I miss or the woman I just want to see once and can’t forget.
At this moment, Xun Kuang's face was complicated, his expression was stunned, and he didn't know what to do.
This Lord Si Ye, this great talent who is calm in trouble, was a little confused at this moment.
The woman, or the beautiful woman who had been married for a long time, looked at Xun Kuang, smiled softly, stepped forward and saluted: "I wanted to come out to see you when you were at the gate of the Imperial College, but seeing that the Su family The lady came out and didn’t come to disturb me.”
After explaining this, the woman was a little annoyed, explaining what she was doing, but she also knew that it was because she was nervous. Even though she had thought about the scene of meeting Xun Kuang again in her mind countless times, she still felt a little uncomfortable.
But after a slight adjustment, the woman looked at Xun Kuang and said, "Long time no see, Xun."
"Brother Xun" was called more than ten years ago, but now it's a little inappropriate, so the woman changed her name: "Long time no see, Xun Kuang."
Xun Kuang opened his lips slightly several times, but finally didn't know how to speak. But when he heard the woman calling his name, Xun Kuang suddenly calmed down. He smiled and bowed, "Long time no see, Mrs. Xin."
Hearing Mrs. Xin's words, self-mockery flashed across the woman's face.
Then, the woman smiled and said, "Can we talk?"
Xun Kuang nodded, but only when he wanted to go to Qingya Restaurant.
The woman pointed to the noodle stall in front: "Go there."
Xun Kuang looked over and didn't object.
But Xun Kuang looked at the woman's appearance, thought about it and broke the awkwardness, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for more than ten years, and you are getting more and more beautiful!"
The woman smiled softly: "You have changed a lot."
When Xun Kuang heard this, he immediately smiled: "You have more temperament."
The woman laughed a few times, then just looked at Xun Kuang, reached out and pinched Xun Kuang's clothes, and then frowned: "It's so cold, so don't wear more clothes."
Xun Kuang said with a smile: "Isn't this the habit of being thick-skinned and thick-skinned? But for a wealthy businessman like you, can you eat noodles?"
The woman laughed and scolded: "Rich businessmen don't eat? Besides, didn't you and I like to eat from these street stalls before?"
Xun Kuang nodded: "That's right. It doesn't count where you eat. It's all about a bowl of rice."
The two hadn't seen each other for more than ten years, but apart from the slight embarrassment at the beginning, they didn't know why at the moment. Maybe it was because it had been too long, and they had already figured it out. Maybe it was some other reason. In just a few words, they... There is no sense of embarrassment anymore.
After sitting on the noodle stall and ordering two bowls of chopped green onion noodles, the woman looked at Xun Kuang and said, "Why don't you ask me why I came to see you?"
Xun Kuang shook his head: "It's not like before. There aren't so many things to ask."
Hearing this, the woman was startled.
It reminded me of the time when Xun Kuang stood at his doorstep and asked heartbreakingly, "Why?"
Thinking of this, the woman wanted to say the three words that she had not wanted to say all the time for more than ten years, but she did not say them after all. However, she noticed Xun Kuang's sleeves as he picked up the hot noodle soup and drank it. After a pause, he said : "I still have it with me."
Xun Kuang was stunned for a moment, looked down at the money in his sleeve, and said with a smile: "Aren't you used to this?"
The woman smiled, then nodded and said: "It doesn't matter if you take it with you. You spend money lavishly. Even if you become a high-ranking official in the court now, you still have no way of spending money. If you leave a penny, you can always buy a sesame cake and steamed buns."
Xun Kuang looked at the woman and asked: "You are not going well in business and want to ask me for help. Tell me, who can you ask for? I can ask the queen. Now you have the ability, unlike before No ability."
The woman immediately laughed and scolded: "What are you talking about? No matter what I do, I still have some ways to do business. Moreover, when I came to Beijing this time, I also wanted to talk to the rosy-lipped Shopkeeper Su about the transfer of my shops in the south. Which way to go?"
Xun Kuang frowned: "Is there something wrong with the business? Why should we transfer the shop?"
The woman shook her head: "The man died of illness last year, so I thought about transferring it. The business in the south is controlled by people from the two major chambers of commerce. We either join or give up. I thought about giving up, and then went to Nanyang to see Look, I’ve always heard about how good Nanyang is and I’ve always wanted to go. The price offered by Shopkeeper Su is right, which is more suitable than the two major chambers of commerce, so I came to Beijing to have a chat.”
Xun Kuang understood and nodded: "Well, things have turned around. There is going to be a commotion in the south. Although the Xin family is not a big family, it is still considered a small force in Gusu City. It would be beneficial to disperse earlier."
The woman naturally understood that Xun Kuang was trying to wake her up, but she didn't say much and just looked at Xun Kuang.
He is much older and sloppier.
but.
It’s still the same feeling of reading and herding, and it’s also the same feeling that I was full of curiosity and affection when I first saw it.
Can.
I am no longer worthy.
Thinking of this, the woman smiled, looked at Xun Kuang and said, "That one penny, is that the one I gave you before?"
Xun Kuang was drinking noodle soup. When he heard this, he nodded: "Well, I have a lot of friends in the capital, and they are all willing to treat me to dinner. If I don't need them, I will keep them."
From the initial shock, then the confusion, and now the calmness.
Xun Kuang thought about what he would do when he saw this woman countless times, but now that he saw it, he just felt relieved for no reason?
do not know!
Anyway, that uneasiness, as if I was worrying too much, was gone at this moment.
Moreover, my state of mind was suddenly relieved, and my thoughts became clear.
When the woman heard this, she was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "That's not very good, I'm afraid it's not the one I sent!"
Xun Kuang frowned: "Girl, you think I'm living in poverty? I'm good or bad."
At this point, Xun Kuang realized that he had used the title he used to address the woman in front of him, so he wanted to apologize.
But the woman smiled and said: "I am going to Nanyang this time and will not come back again, so I want to come and see you before I leave. I am afraid of seeing you for so many years, so I have to see you. And I know you I know how you have been these past few years, and you are not disappointed at all. Although all the money has been given to Lord Jijiu, your life is more comfortable than anyone else’s. Every time I think of you being so cool and unrestrained, I can’t even envy you."
When Xun Kuang heard this, he looked at the woman in front of him who was smiling as beautifully as before, but even though she was smiling, she felt a little more sad.
After the woman finished speaking, she continued: "I'm just curious. Do you like Miss Lan Yuan or Miss Lan Qing from the Flower Shop? It can't be Bu Yao. I've heard from those girls in the Flower Shop. We have said that you will definitely ask Bu Yao to drink with you every time, but I have seen that Bu Yao is not as good-looking as Lan Qing and Lan Yuan. As for Liu Baishi, although I know you like it very much, But you don’t have the money to touch her.”
Xun Kuang suddenly heard this and was immediately embarrassed. He couldn't help but said, "Well, we haven't seen each other for so many years. I'm a little embarrassed when you suddenly mention this."
The woman chuckled, then coughed and said: "I also heard from the people at the flower shop that you are not only favored by the girls in the flower shop, but there are also many girls in other brothels who like you. They are jealous. They are really looking forward to you being able to help them redeem their lives, and some people even say that if they can redeem their lives for you, even if they can’t be their wife, they would be willing to be a maid and maid by your side.”
Xun Kuang was ashamed, and immediately said: "Actually, I also try hard not to make myself likeable, but there is no way, there is no way. To use the words of our queen, if you are so good and born, what can you do!"
The woman laughed when she heard this, and then said: "If the Queen knew that you were using her holy words like this, she might have something to do with you."
Xun Kuang immediately shook his head: "No, our relationship is strong! We met and chatted with me today."
After saying this, Xun Kuang looked at the woman, thought for a moment and then asked, "Have you ever thought about finding another one? I heard that after your master passed away, many people pursued you, including someone from the Ouyang family."
The woman was stunned for a moment, then shook her head: "No, I won't marry again. It's fine to be alone. And my family doesn't need me to marry anyone to save them."
When she spoke, there was a smile on her face, but the sadness was clearly revealed. It was not intentional on the woman's part, as if she had thought of something and could not help but feel this way.
Like
It's like the smile on his face has been covering up the sadness inside all these years.
Xun Kuang looked at the woman, smiled and said, "It's good, I'm free after all, and I also have the niece and nephew you adopted, so I'm not lonely."
When the woman heard this, she looked at Xun Kuang in surprise.
