Visiting the piano on a winter night, waiting for the dawn

rainy night.

Wei Wenfu sent her to the Winter Mansion, she agreed, and set up a volume to set her free.Dong Nanqin said that she would return to the Wei Mansion every day, and she would not leave until the drafting of the book was completed.

"Miss...Miss?" The person who opened the door was the old housekeeper for many years. The creases on his face were as deep as grooves, and the old housekeeper pulled the corners of his mouth hard to smile.He called dryly to the inside: "Master, Missy is back."

Dong Nanqin looked to the side of the alley, Wei Wenfu nodded to her while holding an umbrella.The figure walked into the mansion, she leaned against the entrance of the alley with an umbrella, only heard the patter of raindrops falling on the umbrella, her legs seemed to be filled with lead, and she simply stood still.

After dinner, Dong Ziqi was playing mahjong in the second aunt's room, and when Dong Nanqin returned home by himself, Le threw the cards and went to greet her.

All the aunts and aunts came to join in the fun, and Dong Ziqi Lehe grabbed her hand and complained bitterly, scolding Wei Wenfu for not being a thing, for making him suffer so much and not being able to reunite as a family.

For six years, the furnishings at home have not changed.The big and small aunts put on more heavy makeup, and also added a few unfamiliar faces.Everyone was intimate, Dong Nanqin responded with a slight smile, she looked at the crowd and asked lightly: "Where is my little mother?"

"She..." Dong Ziqi pulled her into the inner hall to sit down, and then said: "I went to bed early, this is a rainy day, Tongfang is not in good health at all, she caught the wind and cold."

Dong Nanqin got up: "I'll go see her."

"Hey, Nanqin..." Aunt Tai hugged her arm and did not let go, her fat face was greasy, and her smile was like a hook: "I haven't seen you for so many years, my mother and I will catch up with each other first, tell me quickly, these years…"

As the night was dark, Dong Nanqin was assigned to the guest room.

Pushing open the window, the rain became heavier, with lightning and thunder.I can't rest easy, I want to see her, I want to tell her that I'm back.Today, seeing those people in the hall pretending to be ostentatious, she felt that something was wrong.

Dong Ziqi's first wife died not long after giving birth to Dong Nanqin.Among his many aunts, only Tongfang is the closest to her. She is not much older than her, but treats her sincerely like a sister.Dongziqi wanted to sell her to warlords in exchange for fame and fortune, but Tongfang stood by her side and told her: "I am already like this. I came from a poor and humble background and sang songs for others for half my life. I have already been like this in my life. But you are different Nanqin, you are still young, you are resolute and resolute, you can go out, and only by going out can you survive!"

The boat left the pier slowly, and the thin woman stood there to see her off, and sang, "Don't be a woman in life, and follow others for a hundred years of suffering..."

Taking advantage of the late night, she pushed open the door and hurried to Tongfang's room.These years, when she was alone outside, only those words that Tong Fang said supported her all the time in her heart.

Unexpectedly, before he got there, he was dragged to a corner by a person.

"Miss..." The old housekeeper looked tired, his eyes sparkled, he poked outside, and then said in a low voice: "Miss, let's go..."

"Auntie passed away too early..."

"The old lady treated me kindly, I really can't bear to see you like this..."

...

Dong Nanqin walked out of the gate again.

She stood outside the gate with an umbrella and looked around. The rain in front of her eyes blocked her vision, and there was endless darkness without a place of light.Where should she go?

Many years later, she just realized the weight of the word value.

The umbrella fell from her hand, and she faltered, relieved.Holding on to the cold stone bricks, the rain soaked my clothes and I didn't feel the chill. I don't know whether it was tears or rain, and my eyes were blurred.

Dong Nanqin leaned against the wall and stopped, when she saw a person running quickly at the entrance of the alley with an umbrella, her feet stepped into the water and the water splashed and wet her skirt.The man rushed over, and when Dong Nanqin saw it clearly, he was pulled into his arms.

"Is it cold? Why did you lose your umbrella, are you stupid?"

She looked up and saw Wei Wenfu, holding an umbrella in one hand and holding her in his arms with the other.

Dong Nanqin was exhausted, she held back her tears and asked, "Why are you still here?"

The man still had a smile on his face.

It is as bright as the sun.

Wei Wenfu said lightly: "I think you have been away for many years and haven't gone back for a long time. I am afraid that you are not used to it...or they treat you badly, or you can't sleep tonight, or...or...you can't find your way back I'm going to be needed... so I'm here waiting for you to come out!"

Did you never leave after sending her into the mansion?She stood under such rain and waited for so long!

So I'm here waiting for you to wake up...

so i'm here waiting for you to come out...

Dong Nanqin choked up, "What if I don't come out?"

Wei Wenfu rolled her eyes, smiled, and said lightly, "Well, I'll go back to sleep at dawn!"

She burst into tears, hooked her neck with her hands, and rested her chin on her shoulder.The faint fragrance in the rain, the warmth from the drenched clothes, she hugged her tighter and whispered: "Take me back."

...

Tongfang sent Dong Nanqin away, and stuffed jewelry and all her savings into her package, devoting herself wholeheartedly and leaving no way out for herself.A few days after Dong Nanqin left, the Dongchuang incident broke out, and Dong Ziqi was furious and sold Tongfang into a kiln.

A thunderbolt from the blue broke Dong Nanqin's spiritual support, and she had a high fever for days.

Wei Wenfu ordered a large-scale search, and when she finally got news, she hesitated again and again, wondering if she should speak.But that man was very stubborn, he couldn't sleep at night because he couldn't eat, and she was very distressed.

The porridge he had just fed her was vomited out again.

Wei Zhu reported another bad news: "Not long after entering the kiln, he refused to accept the training and was killed by the thugs in the kiln!"

She took a deep breath, she knew Dong Nanqin's temperament.Although Zhou You has experienced wind and frost for several years, the surface is calm and breezy, but the inner texture has never changed.She grew up in such a swamp, but she emerges unstained from the mud, and her pure and kind heart must be inseparable from this Tongfang.That person was also tenacious and determined not to follow, even if he lost his life.

If it is too rigid, it is easy to break.

She understands this truth, her father is such a person.

Wei Wenfu clenched her fists and looked at the heavy rain, she gritted her teeth and was determined to confess.She believed that Nanqin could get through it, and even if she couldn't, she would help her do it.

Throwing back the quilt and lying down, Dongnanqin's fever has just subsided, and he has some energy, but he still closes his eyes and doesn't open his mouth.Wei Wenfu put one arm around her waist and whispered softly: "Nanqin Nanqin...do you really think I look like a brat? Although you are six years older than me, I have a much stronger temper than you, so How about you try to cling to me in the future?"

Dong Nanqin opened her eyes, tears slipped from her pupils, splashing on Wei Wen Fuxin Lake, causing ripples.She felt distressed and went to wipe away the tears for her, but she caught Dong Nanqin with her hand.She choked up and said, "She's gone, isn't she?"

"Is the price too heavy for the freedom I bought with my life? Then I would rather not, and give it all back... Now, what should I do if I am alone?"

She buried her face in her neck, Wei Wenfu hugged her sideways and hugged her in her arms, Wei Wenfu said softly: "If she sees you at this moment, she will definitely not regret what she did that day. I You won't be alone, as long as Wei Fang lives, you won't be alone."

With her slender fingers, she gently brushed back the hair sticking to her face, and her lips covered the area between her brows.

"I hope that the rebirth lamp will be red again when the moon falls."

...

"Boom"

The bucket fell into the water, Xiuzi grabbed the rope of the bucket and shook it, and happened to catch the watermelon floating in the well.She shook the pole and brought the bucket up. When she was almost at the entrance, the rope snapped and the bucket and watermelon fell into the well.

In the twinkling of an eye, it is summer, and the sweat is dripping.

The tall trees in the yard on the back porch stretched out their green umbrellas, and the cicadas and birds chirped on the branches.Xiuzi wiped the sweat from her forehead, and leaned her body into the well, the coolness hit her face, which was really refreshing.

"The rope was broken, Wei Zhu threw the watermelon into the well without a net bag, these are good, it will not slip away!" Xiuzi blushed from the sun, and ran all the way into the back hall.

Wei Wenfu was copying on the desk, seeing Xiuzi running in sweating profusely, she put down her pen and looked up.Dong Nanqin who was flipping through the manuscript on the opposite side smiled slightly and nodded in agreement.She just got up, ran over in sandals, and said with a smile, "I'll go!"

Hanging the net on the bamboo to pick up the watermelon, Xiuzi cut it up, turned around and ran to the kitchen to prepare sour plum soup, Wei Wenfu couldn't wait to bring the watermelon into the inner hall.

Take a bite, cool and sweet.

She handed the bitten watermelon to Dong Nanqin's mouth: "Take a bite."

Dong Nanqin brushed her hair back, lowered her head and bit the glowing red melon flesh, her smile bloomed like a flower, and her jade voice was tactful: "It's so sweet."

She was dressed in a white gauze, her long hair hung down to her waist, the vermilion powder was uneven, and the flowers were lightly fragrant.On that day, she stopped curling her long hair, and sealed her slim suit, as if all the foreign culture on her body had been stuffed into the bottom of the box following Tong Fang's sad news.Wei Wenfu made it clear that those were just to pay homage to Tongfang and keep them in his heart.

On that day, Dong Nanqin put on a long white dress, with long hair hanging straight down her waist, like a fairy in a landscape painting, so beautiful that it makes people forget the vulgarity.It was such a figure with a slender waist and slender waist in Huifeng Wuxue that touched her heart, and she could never forget it.

She knew that she had fallen.

"Are you going out today?"

Wei Wenfu came back to her senses, swallowed the watermelon and said, "I want it. As a matter of routine, go to the pier with Dong Ziqi for a walk! I won't be able to accompany you to school later, let Wei Zhu accompany you."

Turning over the paper with her slender fingertips, Dong Nanqin pursed her lips and said with a smile, "No, I'll go by myself."

"But then..."

"Isn't he accompanying you on routine business? He doesn't have time to trouble me. He is my father. He can't see me up and down in Lihua Town. He can't keep hiding! Besides, he's afraid he won't have the face to see me."

"It's up to you." Wei Wenfu frowned slightly, thinking about finding someone to follow behind his back.

Xiuzi walked in quickly, carrying three bowls of sour plum soup with ice cubes floating on top.Holding a large bowl by herself, she gulped it down, feeling that she was not satisfied, and ran to the kitchen again, not eating the watermelon.

The sour plum soup smelled sweet and sour. She lowered her head and took a sip. The sweet and sour taste was just right.The ice melted immediately in his mouth, and Wei Wenfu grabbed the watermelon with one hand and took a bite.

"Why mix the two together?"

"I want to try it because the two are different!"

Dong Nanqin looked at her with a smile in his eyes, shining brightly.She didn't even know herself, and there was always a certain emotion in her eyes inadvertently, and she only felt relieved to see it occasionally.

The watermelon seeds stuck to the corner of her mouth, Dong Nanqin chuckled, and helped her remove them with her fingers.

Wei Wenfu's heart was pounding like a deer, she panicked, she simply put down the melon, held it on the edge of the bowl of sour plum soup and chilled it.Sitting cross-legged on a chair, looking at Dong Nanqin opposite, he asked solemnly: "Nanqin, foreign cultures are much more open, unlike our local conservatives. Looking at foreign industries, thinking, is much faster, you say..."

Dong Nanqin closed the book with a hum.

"You said... like us... what is the relationship..." When the words came to his lips, he was surprised what he wanted to ask.

Wei Wenfu was very embarrassed at the moment, she grabbed her folding umbrella and fanned herself, sweating from her brow.The other party was waiting for her to finish speaking, she shook her head, and then said anxiously: "I want to say, the manuscript is drafted, what are your future plans?"

"Naturally, go back to the original place."

Sure enough, I still can't keep it, and Tongfang is missing, so I really don't expect this?

She blushed with anxiety, but she didn't know that she had an obsession in her heart.Fanning desperately, the more fanned the hotter, sweating profusely, said: "Sister has a lot of knowledge, and the reform of Lihua Town in recent months can also see that you have made a lot of contributions. In addition, you know foreign languages, and you are needed in China. You are a talented person, you are proficient in everything from purchasing equipment to drafting books. I was thinking, can you stay...just...the right to be a military adviser?"

Dong Nanqin closed the book and asked: "Young girl has no ambitions, she can't take on such a big responsibility."

She was suddenly at a loss for words, and her anxious ears were red.Suddenly getting angry, she threw the cattail fan on the table, stood up, and said in a trembling and stern tone, "Nanqin said yes. Wait for the arrangement in the near future. You go, and I will see you off."

As soon as the words fell, Dong Nanqin hadn't answered yet, but she could hear the little fox's temper.Sure enough, looking outside, she walked away barefoot on the hot slate bricks on this hot day.

Dong Nanqin's thoughts were still stuck on the sentence just now.

Like what is our relationship?

Looking at the hot day outside, the breeze is helping the greenery, insects are singing and birds are singing.The house is cool, and the ice in the plum soup on the table is gradually melting.

She froze, what do you want to ask?

The world is full of emotions, but in midsummer, white porcelain plum soup, broken ice clinks against the wall.
