Beat Generation

"I've been choosing among [-] photos for a whole morning. How do the children look like now? They're all either lacking in temperament, or they have a fierce look. Hey. If you go on like this, it's really hard for me to cooperate with you. I just want to find two flower girls who are pleasing to the eye."

Wu Ershan held the mobile phone and lowered her voice again and again. Even so, her resentful voice still echoed softly in the huge Taoist temple. Zhuang Mei had to slightly hold one of her little fingers, and asked softly: "What else do we need?" Kneel for how long?"

"Why are you still kneeling?!" Wu held Zhuang Mei's hand tightly, and pulled her out of the empty hall without looking back. Unfortunately, within two steps, Wu's mother, who was waiting outside the temple, came quickly. , "You child is really ignorant. We all come here to ask divination when we get married, but you are a special case, aren't you?"

"Mom, she and I have knelt on that hard futon for more than an hour. Look at her tender knees, how can she stand this?" Wu Ershan bent down, picked up the platinum folding fan lightly, and opened Opening up Zhuang Mei's skirt, revealing her already swollen knees, "Mom, look, am I right?"

Zhuang Mei knocked over Wu's folding fan with a snap, and when the folding fan fell to the ground, Wu laughed lightly, Wu's mother shook her head, and Zhuang Mei said, "The fan is for Master, so what if it fell to the ground and caused dust?"

"Yes, yes, that makes sense. Your father and I shouldn't have sent you abroad, leaving your ancestors' culture behind and your mind full of foreign ink." Mother Wu pulled Zhuang Mei, " Does your knee hurt?"

Zhuang Mei shook her head, whether it hurts or not, but her skin, which only a teenage girl has, is too immature, a little spoiled, either red or broken, she feels that if she continues like this, she will soon become Hemophiliac.

"In order not to worry you, of course she said she doesn't hurt. In fact, she must be in pain." Wu put away the fan with a smile, and her cell phone rang again, "Mom, you have to feel sorry for her, this child, too Afraid to live."

Wu Chong raised his eyebrows at Zhuang Mei, then turned aside to make a phone call.

Zhuang Mei and Wu's mother were left behind, and Zhuang Mei didn't know what to say. She remembered that after Wu and her parents had a showdown that day, Wu's mother kept chasing Wu Ershan after seeing her appearance. My child, you give it back!Xiyi Nong's brain is crazy!Lennon is out of his mind!In the north, you can't find any kind of object, you have to abduct me a little bomae!Did Nan Yiyi miss Qing Sang? ? ? ? ?

That day, Father Wu was so scared that his heart was overwhelmed. He didn't talk to Zhuang Mei from the beginning to the end. After the two talked face to face in the study for several hours, Wu Cai finally let out a sigh of relief and told Zhuang Mei that the marriage is done.

Wu's mother picked up the handkerchief and wiped Zhuang Mei's sweat, "Are you tired? Mom didn't force you to come to divination, but the wedding is approaching. According to our Wu family's old almanac, come to ask God's will, yes Nothing could be more natural."

Zhuang Mei shook her head, "Are you tired?"

Mother Wu also shook her head, and she gently stroked Zhuang Mei's hair on the temples, "I think you look much better these days. Don't worry too much about the marriage, let Er Shan decide. You are still young, don't know how For a family like ours, what does it mean for the only heir to get married?"

Zhuang Mei raised her eyes to look at Wu Ershan, who turned her back and was still on the phone with the flower boy company. In just a few days, her tall back lost three points, and she couldn't help feeling a little bit distressed.

Mother Wu held Zhuang Mei's hand, "Son, are you ready?"

"...I..." Zhuang Mei opened her mouth, and Wu's mother said with a smile: "I don't want anything, I just want my daughter to live happily with you. At home, I won't There is nothing to restrain you, but you have gone out, and you, Mrs. Wu, can't lose the battle outside. It's not good to be so shy all the time."

Mother Wu touched Zhuang Mei's head, and Zhuang Mei had no choice but to lower her head. At this time, Wu Ershan came over after making the phone call and said to Mother Wu: "Mom, let's come to divination another day, okay? Just now Mo Shi said, Wen Xi Come to my house."

"........." Zhuang Mei paused, "Didn't she say she couldn't come..."

"I can't be there on the wedding day, so of course I have to come early to give me a gift. Let's go." Wu Ershan put on his sunglasses, "I'm going back to count the gifts."

——————————————————————————————————

Wen Xi had never been to this white villa built on a cliff.

However, when Mo Shi opened the door for her, she felt that she had known this house for a long time. She remembered that when she was young, she took landscape painting classes. Bo Mei had painted many kinds of white houses like this. People living in a house that no one can disturb, where should this house be built, it must not be built in a place where ordinary people can pass by!

At that time, she had a composition of a house hanging in the air, but she had nowhere to put it.

So Wen Xi thought about it, the secluded and safe place in the whole capital is a little way away from the capital - Yaerhai, she told her, and Bo Mei rushed to work happily all night, painting the love nest in her mind Entered Yaerhai.

But no matter how you draw it, it is not realistic enough, not realistic enough.

At that time, there was no road on the Yaerhai side, and because it was adjacent to the military port, it was basically in a semi-closed state. In order to be more realistic, Bo Mei begged the older Zhan Banbi to be a guarantor and let her lead her in to have a look.

After finally going to see it on the spot, the white house was vivid on the paper. Bo Mei won an award for this painting that year.

...Wen Xi sat down and looked at the furnishings in the house and... clusters of giant orchids that seemed to cost no money. Mo Shi had only seen Wen Xi twice, and couldn't grasp her taste for a while, so he could only open his mouth Ask her what she would like to eat.

"Black coffee, thank you. No need for anything else."

When Wen Xi said this, his eyes fell on the stacks of red invitation cards on the round table.

"Miss Ershan insisted on writing the invitations herself, and she has already written ten."

"Can she still write calligraphy?" Wen Xi stood up, "Can I have a look?"

Mo Shi smiled and said: "Of course. Miss Ershan has been abroad for a long time, but fortunately she still has some foundation since she was a child, so she can hold the brush very steadily."

When Wen Xi opened the first letter that had already been written, she was almost stunned by the ghostly scribbled characters, so she could only say: "This time she really put her heart into it. I heard people say along the way that she did all the preparations herself. This wedding."

After closing the first invitation, Wen Xi opened the other invitations one after another, the more he wrote the better.

"Yes. I'll get you coffee."

Mo Shi turned around, Wen Xi looked up at the chandelier, then reached out to touch the orchids.

I don't know if it's going to rain, the room is a bit stuffy, Wen Xi walked to the terrace, looked at the dark clouds floating over the sea and sky line, she sat on the chair, a gust of wind blew away her lavender skirt, she pressed Pressing the corner of the skirt, Mo Shi has already brought the coffee.

"How long will it take for them to come back? Actually, I don't have to see them. The newlyweds have a lot of things to do, and I don't want to disturb their footsteps."

"I went to Yunshenguan early this morning....Miss Ershan just said that she is on her way back, soon."

"Oh? Then did you ask her about the divination?"

Wen Xi took a sip of coffee and asked with interest.

"You wait for her to come back and ask her yourself. I reckon, it must be a good luck."

Just as Mo Shi was about to leave, Wen Xi stood up and pulled out the chair, "Butler Mo, sit with me for a while and talk for a while."

"……OK, all right."

Mo Shi sat down and suddenly felt that she might have misunderstood Wen Xi. It turned out that she would take the initiative to ask to chat with a little housekeeper like her. She looked into Wen Xi's eyes and said, "Can you come here specially, Miss Ershan is on the phone Already overjoyed."

"I'm happy too. . . . How are they getting along?"

"Very good. Although the little lady doesn't talk much, she is very easy-going, and she is much more sensible than children of the same age."

"..." A trace of doubt flashed through Wen Xi's eyes, she crossed her hands, "Child??"

"Oh~ Don't you even know that our little Mrs. Wu is indeed a little young?"

Wen Xi repeated the word "children", and long sections of surprise flew over her face like a flock of crows. She asked emphatically, "Shouldn't Ershan be a 27-year-old, mature woman, married?" ?”

"..." Mo Shi remembered Wu's warning to her that she could not tell anyone the truth about the weird transformation, so she could only say calmly: "Who said our little lady is a mature woman, she is like a quiet child. You must It was a misunderstanding."

"How could I have misunderstood..." Wen Xi stood up and looked down from the balcony, but there was still no sign of a car on the road, "When will they come back?"

"I'm going to call right now."

"...Okay." Wen Xi paced back and forth. She took out her mobile phone, found Zhuang Mei's mobile phone number from before, and just dialed it. The number you dialed was still turned off. She hung up the phone. Funny thoughts whizzed out of her mind, maybe Zhuang Mei might have escaped on the plane, she didn't want to be with Wu Ershan, and Wu might choose out of sadness because of this sudden emotional injury. Married to a "child"?

So, where will Zhuang Mei go?That plane flew directly to Huanjing.And all her eyeliners did report to her that Zhuang Mei and Wu arrived in Huanjing safely, but after they arrived in this house, they could no longer monitor them.

Wen Xi seemed to have a large space in her heart suddenly. She stood by the terrace, looking at the sea under the dark clouds and waves, and she covered her mouth with chills. Will Zhuang Mei jump off the cliff? Go down, jump into the sea, get out of here.

Where did she flee to?

The more she thought about it, the cold sweat started to break out in Wen Xi's palms, and she even started to blame herself, why did she hand over Zhuang Mei, who was already on the verge of collapse, to Wu Ershan, a big child like that without fighting back?She was so angry that she made such a mistake.

Within the range she is familiar with, Wen Xi is absolutely confident that Zhuang Mei's life will be safe, but this is a capital full of dangers. Just because of Zhuang Mei's appearance, once it is exposed on the street one day, it is not enough to kill her. They are all light, and those sworn enemies of Bo Zhengtao will surely tear her to pieces and grind her into yellow mud under her feet.

Maybe, she died... Wen Xi sat down and took another sip of black coffee. The disconnected thoughts in her mind disturbed Wen Xi's vision, so that she didn't realize that Wu's car had already driven to the villa.

Wu Ershan pulled Zhuang Mei in and walked in lightly. She wanted to take Zhuang Mei to the terrace to surprise Wen Xi, but Zhuang Mei broke away from her and ran upstairs in a hurry.

"You're going to get to know her sooner or later. She has an ice face, but she's actually a very nice person." Wu whispered to Zhuang Mei who disappeared at the top of the stairs. She called her several times, but Zhuang Mei was still the same. I don't want to come down to meet guests with her.

Zhuang Mei, who locked the door, had her heart beating fast. When she listened carefully, Wu didn't call her anymore, maybe she had already gone to see Wen Xi.

Zhuang Mei walked into the bathroom and gently washed her face with warm water. She wanted to take off the scarf, but she looked at herself in the mirror and still raised her hands to cover half of her face.

Wu Er was good at standing on her tiptoes, like a little mouse smeared with oil, slipped and fell on Wen Xi's back inadvertently.

Wen Xi, who was in deep thought, was taken aback. She first helped the mischievous Wu Ershan out of habit, and then looked behind Wu, "...you, are you back?"

She tried her best to stabilize her emotions, "What about her?"

"Didn't you come to see me? She was shy and hid upstairs."

"Yes, I'm here to see you."

"Is it a gift for me?" Wu opened his eyes curiously, and Wen Xi said, "But I don't know, who are you marrying?... I heard from your housekeeper just now that you are going to marry a The child gets married."

"Shhhh, it's against the law to marry a child. Don't give me that hat, she's an adult."

"Adult?" Wu's words seemed to be true. The rumored Mrs. Wu was indeed very young.To Wen Xi's ears, it was like a death knell. Her face was ashen, and she raised her hand to grab Wu's shirt collar, "Then where did she go? What about her?"

"She's upstairs." Wu didn't understand why there was a slight anger in Wen Xi's eyes, "Who are you talking about?"

"Who else is there. That, Zhuang Mei you met over there? Where did she go? Didn't she come to the capital with you? Where did you take her?"

"Oh...she, she..."

Wu's evasive expression made Wen Xi even more startled, she lowered her voice and said, "Do you know where she is going?"

"I don't know... when the plane landed, she disappeared. I just... couldn't find her."

"You must be joking with me. How could a big living person disappear."

"...Why are you so nervous about her? You don't know her."

"She's gone. Instead of looking for her, you got married so soon? I think you're very happy, don't you care about her at all? Even if it's a short encounter, even if it's a romantic relationship, don't you... "Wen Xi didn't speak anymore, she just stared at Wu with eyes full of anger, until Wu opened his mouth to say something, Wen Xi didn't let go, "Her affairs are of course none of my business. Yang Fan said he couldn't see I can't see girls from the south coming to the north to suffer."

To be honest, Wu Ershan was almost untenable by Wen Xi's expression and a series of questions. She wanted to tell the truth, but felt that this was her and her little wife's secret, and it was her housework. Well, she can't tell anyone in this way, even if the person is Wen Xi, or Zhan Banbi, she can't tell.

"Maybe she's somewhere else now, and she's doing well." Wu clenched his lower lip and said vaguely.

Wen Xi nodded numbly.

"Er Shan, how could you change your mind so quickly? I thought you were marrying that Miss Zhuang Mei?"

"Thanks to that Miss Zhuang Mei, after getting to know her, my luck became even better, so I got to know my current little lady."

Wu continued to make up, and she noticed that Wen Xi's breathing fluctuated with her words, as if she was trying to suppress something.

But at this moment, Zhuang Mei had already gone downstairs, hiding behind a giant orchid, spying on the situation on the terrace.

Looking through the strings of petals, Wen Xi seemed to be having an argument with Wu Er, and Wen Xi almost wanted to hit Wu, but she didn't, and just sat there with sad eyes.

The dark clouds have completely occupied the entire sky, the light on the terrace is dim, and the faces of Wen Xi and Wu Ershan are becoming increasingly unclear. Zhuang Mei only knows that they are talking in a low voice. As for what they are talking about, they can't even read their lips clearly. .

Zhuang Mei rubbed her eyes, moved a few steps, and got closer to the terrace.

She didn't observe for long before Wen Xi stood up, as if she was about to leave.

——Wu Ershan looked at Wen Xi who was full of misunderstandings with a troubled expression. The worst thing was that she made up the misunderstandings herself. She seldom used stories to fool her friends, especially her best friend. She didn't tell any lies. At this moment, Wu even felt that she had really told a big lie.

Is there anything that can be remedied?Wu licked his dry lips, no, not yet.

"Are you leaving now? Don't you want to see my little lady?"

Wen Xi shook her head, and after thinking about it, she asked again: "How old is she this year, and whose child is it?"

"She's already 16 years old, and she's my distant cousin." Wu had no choice but to say what her parents had prepared for their marriage. She was about to say her name when Wen Xi waved her hand, "Finally , you still listened to your parents and married someone from your own family."

Wu had no choice but to nod. Wen Xi wanted to open her arms to hug Wu Ershan, but her arms were stiff, and she couldn't show a friendly blessing at all. She turned around and saw a thin and petite woman standing behind the orchid. white figure.

A thunderbolt streaked across the sky, and the long-prepared rain fell from the sky.

Another thunderous light pierced the hidden little man, and the directionless gust of wind slammed open the closed window. Like an unknown hand, the wind pushed open the turban around the little man's face. !

Just like that, Wen Xi was caught off guard when he saw this little man's frightening face.
