The Romance of the West Chamber: The Bells are Ringing

"But sending you to the government will probably dishonor my family's family tree." Mrs. Cui Xiangguo frowned, suppressing her displeasure and said, "Now I betroth Yingying to you as my wife."

After Cui Yingying heard this, her heart felt like a spring breeze, and a long-lost sense of security came to her heart. A long-lost smile appeared on her face, and her eyes were filled with relief and gratitude: "A-niang, thank you for your consideration and care. I am willing to follow your arrangements. I believe that Zhang Sheng will be a good husband."

The lady caressed Cui Yingying's hair, her eyes full of motherly love: "My good daughter, I only hope you will live happily in the future. This decision is also for your own good. Sometimes you need to step out on the road of life to see a broader world. landscape."

Cui Yingying nodded, with tears in her eyes: "Don't worry, mom, I will work hard. Maybe this is my destined marriage. I will cherish this relationship, make myself better, and bring glory to the Cui family."

The matchmaker was also overjoyed and thought: "Sure enough, this old rascal has no choice but to do this for the sake of the Cui family's face! Excellent! Excellent! This will bring me one step closer to getting rid of my slave status!"

When Zhang Sheng heard this, he was overjoyed and hurriedly kowtowed to Mrs. Cui Xiangguo and said repeatedly: "Thank you, Madam, for disregarding the past grudges! I can't thank you enough! I will definitely treat you well!"

Mrs. Cui Xiangguo waved her hand, interrupted Zhang Sheng, stepped aside, and did not accept Zhang Sheng's kneeling. She said lightly: "It's just that my family has not hired a white-clothed son-in-law for three generations. You will go to court tomorrow to get the honor. I and you As a wife, if you get the job, come and see me; if you fail, you don’t have to come back!"

When Zhang Sheng heard his wife's words, he felt ecstatic in his heart, as if he had been favored by a fairy.

Seeing that Mrs. Cui Xiangguo was not being polite, he no longer forced himself. He quickly stood up and said with gratitude: "Madam's love will be unforgettable in my life. I will definitely live up to everyone's expectations. I will go to the exam tomorrow and swear to gain fame and repay Madam in the future." The grace of knowing someone.”

The lady sneered and nodded, with a look of disgust: "Okay, okay, you are a scholar with a flexible mind, and you will definitely be able to make a difference in the future. As long as you get a good rank in the exam, you can bring glory to the Prime Minister's Palace."

When Cui Yingying heard these words, she was both happy and worried. She knew that this meant that she would become Zhang Sheng's wife, and that the future would be full of unknown challenges.

The matchmaker looked on with a smile, feeling happy in her heart, as if she saw a couple happily getting married, and thought: "Zhang Sheng has been happy to hear this for a long time. The matter of lovesickness has been wiped out, and fortunately the previously locked relationship has been opened. At the tip of the eyebrow, beautiful love has just begun. Now that it has been decided, Zhang Sheng, no one can bear to look at that delightful face of a cute girl."

Then she thought again: "Zhang Sheng seems to be quite talented. It's not a big deal if he wants to get the honors. Yingying can still wait for Zhang Sheng to get the official position in high school. I'm not in a hurry right now."

The lady turned around and said without looking back: "We will pack our bags tomorrow, arrange fruit wine, and ask the elders to send Zhang Sheng to Shili Changting." After that, she picked up Cui Yingying and left.

As Cui Yingying left, she looked back at Zhang Sheng and said, "I want to tell the willow tree on the bank of the West River to arrange for Green Eyes to see off pedestrians."

The matchmaker clapped her hands and smiled and said to Zhang Sheng: "At that time, the sound of flutes and drums in the painting hall will fill the spring day, and a pair of Luan birds will be placed to make friends with phoenixes. Only then will I accept your matchmaking skills, and then drink your thank you for your marriage. liquor."

After saying that, he quickly followed the two masters and left.

Zhang Sheng watched Mrs. Cui Xiangguo and Cui Yingying leave. He was ecstatic and quickly turned back to the study.

In the dead of night, there are only faint lights dotting the bluestone paths in the garden. The matchmaker quietly walked through the winding path and came to a corner of the garden. The piano boy had been waiting there for a long time, and the moonlight shone on his handsome face, reflecting a mysterious light.

The matchmaker called softly: "Brother."

Qin Tong looked back when he heard the sound, with deep affection in his eyes: "Sister, you are here."

The two stood in each other's arms, feeling each other's warmth. The matchmaker stroked Qintong's cheek and said softly: "Zhang Sheng will go to Beijing tomorrow, and you will leave with him. It's always difficult for me to calm down."

The piano boy took the matchmaker into his arms: "Sister, don't be sad. Our hearts are placed under the misty moon. One day, we will be happy."

The matchmaker smiled slightly and looked at Qintong gratefully: "You always give me strength, Qintong. Although there is separation in this world, the care in my heart is forever."

The moonlight shone on the two of them, as if giving them a quiet and private space. Qintong gently raised the matchmaker's chin, his eyes full of affection. He leaned closer, and his two hearts played melodious melody in this quiet night.

"Sister, this is our time." Qin Tong whispered and kissed the matchmaker's lips tenderly.

Their kiss was like the sound of a piano filling the night sky, soft and affectionate. On the night before leaving, they stole a moment of tenderness, intertwining their innermost emotions with each other. The piano boy caressed the matchmaker's hair, as if he wanted to carve the warmth of this moment into eternity.

The matchmaker closed her eyes, reveling in the stolen tenderness. She knew that tomorrow's separation would be a new beginning, but she was willing to cherish this night that belonged to the two of them. The piano boy and the matchmaker left a beautiful and deep mark on the silent moonlit night.

At this moment, a loud shout was heard in the study room: "Dog slave! Where are you? Come and pack my luggage quickly! I'm going to Beijing to take the exam tomorrow!"

Qin Tong was shocked and quickly replied: "Mr. Lang, I'm feeding the horse. I'll be here soon!"

After saying that, Qintong lowered his head and stared at the matchmaker, "Sister," Qintong whispered, with deep gratitude and reluctance in his voice, "I'm going to serve Zhang Sheng. Fortunately, I have you. You It makes my life full of meaning and warmth, and I will never feel bitter again.”

The matchmaker responded softly: "Qintong, your appearance has filled my life with color. Although we are facing separation, our hearts will always be connected."

Their eyes blended together, as if they wanted to engrave each other's existence deeply in their hearts. The matchmaker gently pulled the piano boy closer, and their bodies were so close that they seemed to blend into one. Qin Tong gently hugged the matchmaker, and their heartbeats seemed to be beating at the same frequency.

"Sister," Qintong murmured in a low voice, "you are the most important person in my life. No matter what happens, I will cherish our time together."

The matchmaker raised her head, stared into Qintong's eyes, and then kissed him softly on the lips. She felt the warmth from Qintong's lips, which seemed to be a deep farewell and blessing.

"Brother," she said softly, "no matter what the future holds, our hearts will always be connected. Remember, you will always have a family and a sister here waiting for you."

Their lips met, and for a moment, the whole night seemed to stand still. In this affectionate kiss, they blended in each other's arms. Although they were about to separate, they seemed to own the whole world at this moment.

Finally, they slowly separated, but the affection in their eyes remained unchanged. They looked at each other silently, knowing that separation was imminent, but they both had good expectations for the future buried in their hearts.

The piano boy reluctantly let go of his tight hold on the matchmaker's waist, turned around and entered the academy.

The matchmaker only heard the piano boy push open the study door, and immediately heard Zhang Sheng furiously hitting the piano boy with something, making a crackling and popping sound when it hit the piano boy. He kept scolding him with obscene words in his mouth. Qintong, on the other hand, remained silent. He must have been used to it just like Matchmaker being pinched by Cui Yingying.

My heart tightened, I sighed, turned around and hurried back to the west wing, thinking: "Hey, we slaves are destined to be beaten, scolded and humiliated by our master at will. Fortunately, the day I leave the slave status is getting better and better." Come on, brother, you just have to take more care of yourself!"
