Cen Zhu took a deep breath: "That night, I remember? My mother said a lot of things to me, as if she wanted to tell me all the languages ​​in her life. At dawn, she asked me: 'Xiao Zheng, do you want to grow up? What to do?' I was still young at that time, and I didn't understand some things, but I also noticed the changes in my family, and I was very depressed. I asked her what else could I do? She encouraged me to say that I could be like the Liu family, "Thirteen can weave vegetables, fourteen? Learn to tailor clothes, fifteen play the harp, and sixteen recite poems and books." I'm not interested in any of those, so I asked her wearily: "If you learn these things, your father will be able to come back." Is it?" She hesitated to answer. I knew that was impossible, so I stubbornly said, "Then I don't want to learn? Thirty servants? Lang, four? .”

Cen Zhu's voice was a little choked, and the righteous anger in her chest was almost bursting out. She clenched her fists tightly? Let herself calm down, and then continued after a long delay: "I didn't know that mother was saying goodbye to me. At dawn, Master I brought my elder brother to my house in the name of saving the souls of the dead. My elder brother sneaked in, gave my mother a razor, and then took off a monk robe for me. Only then did I know why she had been lying all night long. She was combing my hair. She held back her tears and she shaved my hair, and told me: "The big monk who is ringing the bell outside will be your master. He is a good monk. From now on, you will follow him. , you must always listen to his teachings.' I was a little reluctant, so she turned to my senior brother and asked him how old he was this year? Senior brother was? He was wearing two monk robes, so hot that his head was sweating like a little boy. He scratched his head and replied: "Ten years old." Mother smiled and beckoned him to come over and wiped it off for him. With sweat on his face, he said to me: "He will be your senior brother from now on. Didn't Xiao Zheng always want to have a brother? Let him be your brother from now on. From now on, you must not only listen to Master's words, I still have to listen to my brother." I felt that she was going to leave me, and I grabbed her hand and refused to let go, and asked her: "What about you?" She picked up the monk's robe and changed it for me, cutting off a long lock from the back Tie it around my cuffs, hold my hand, and say to me softly: "The sky is hard to break, but life is endless." '"

Li Jingchen looked at the movement of the man raising his sleeves to cover his tears in the darkness, and there was a cool liquid sliding down his cheeks. She had never hoped so much to grow into a Bodhi tree and heal all the pain in her heart.

"Later, Master disguised me as his little apprentice and took me out of the gate. The officers and soldiers guarding the gate thought I was my senior brother, so they did not stop me. And my senior brother, after the guards changed, said, "I woke up by mistake and couldn't find Master." I sneaked out because of the reason. The master sent me to a farm thirty miles outside the city as a caretaker. When I was parting, I leaned on the shaft of the car and asked the master hopefully, could I also replace my mother? Master smiled? He promised me, but what came three days later was his sigh, and you should know what happened afterwards."

Li Jingyu's throat was blocked and difficult to swallow. Among the many details she knew about Cen Zhi's family raid case, Mrs. Cen's martyrdom was just a few words on old paper, but projected in reality, it was a memory that Cen Zhu would never forget in his life.

Just because I experienced that kind of sadness and despair, I never dared to expect her to let go of her hatred and be with her without hindrance.

"I don't want to believe that my mother has already left. I don't eat or drink for a long time, and I don't want to go with the master. It was the elder brother who passed on the last words of the mother before she died. She told the elder brother that her little one is the world. The most brave and fearless little girl in the world, she can grow up strong without the company of her parents." After she finished speaking, she wiped away her tears and let out a sigh of relief, as if she had unloaded a heavy burden, she turned her head and faced the darkness The figure in the middle said: "This is all I have as Cen Zheng."

"I have always wanted to avenge my parents. I hate the Tu family, I hate them for killing my parents, and they made me homeless since I was a child. I hate them even more because they are still rampant. They are so powerful that I can't do anything. I don't Willing, so, from that day on as the governor, I hate everything related to the Tu family, including the Eastern Palace with whom I was married, and you, who have never seen your face before."

Li Jing was like being slapped across the face, biting her lips and staring at her, even though she knew that Cen Zhu had no affection for Donggong before, but hearing her say "hate" in person, she was so merciless , she still felt the blow in her heart, and there was a hurt look in her eyes.

Cen Zhu seemed to think that his strength was not enough, slightly raised his small pointed chin, and said bluntly: "You guessed right, the reason why I didn't take the Qinghe 19 exam was because I didn't want to get involved with Donggong and the Tu family. Even the slightest bit of relationship, even the tiniest bit of relationship, is enough to make me feel like a stick in my throat and I can't eat!"

Li Jing's eyes were red, with sorrow and grievances swirling in his eye sockets, and he turned his face away stubbornly.

"But what? What can I do?"

Cen Zhu sighed, and said a little frustrated: "God sent you to me unreasonably, and told me that you can either love this person or hate him. There is absolutely no third possibility."

Li Jingzhu suddenly shivered and took a breath from the cold, but Cen Zhu continued, as if he didn't notice, "If it's possible, I really hope that the sun in the forest will not be so bright that day. The 17-year-old girl is not so bright, she didn't wear a light blue dress, she didn't wear a red silk wrap, she didn't walk up to me and knocked on the table three times, ordering me to follow me immediately. She left, as if everything was a matter of course and righteousness."

Li Jingchen trembled slightly, covering his face to prevent tears from overflowing between his fingers.

Cen Zhu walked in front of her, and in the darkness, he pulled the trembling body that was trying to dodge into his arms, and ran his fingers through her smooth and forged black hair, all kinds of complicated and unspeakable entanglements in his heart seemed to be... All smoothed out by this gentleness, Yin Yin said: "My mother once? Don't try to avoid it, but use your heart to make a choice. If you can't refuse love, don't choose hate. Once you make a choice, overcome all difficulties in this direction."

"But I didn't understand at the time. I didn't want to excuse myself, but choosing to leave you at the time was indeed the most regretful thing in my life. Although this regret is already too late. I shouldn't, when you need me most, I left you because I didn’t trust you, let alone have no news for four years, didn’t reflect on myself when I came back, and always insisted that I was righteous. I have never considered issues for you from your standpoint. You don’t trust me, punish me I should. But to say that I am with?

Li Jingchen was so violent? He coughed and wept loudly in her arms.Cen Zhu's chin also had balls falling down, his cheek pressed against her ear and he couldn't stop rubbing it, he said in a choked voice:

"I hate the Tu family, but I love you more. If I had to choose again, I would definitely choose you and always choose you. This is what my mother told me, and it is also what my own heart tells me."

Li Jingchen put his arms around her neck, as if he wanted to wring her into his own body, and never separated again.

"As for what you said, feelings are not the most important thing in your life. I understand you and respect you. This kind of thing is different from person to person. You don't need to feel that? This is wronging me and treating me lightly. I It will be bright if you give it some sunshine. As for the Tu family, you don't have to worry about what I will do to hurt others and not benefit yourself. I have a bottom line in my heart. With my current strength, I can't move them at all. Let it be temporarily It’s okay to be there, I can help you, anyway, I always believe that the bad guys have their own day!”

Li Jingchen was choked and punched her on the back as if to vent her anger. Cen Zhu exaggeratedly shouted pain on purpose, and said sullenly: "It's really unreasonable, I have tolerated it to this point, you are so small? Small? Will the right to curse be confiscated? It's really a short-term."

Hearing her half-jokingly say the word "protect the shortcoming", Li Jingchen was both moved and sad.She knew what price Cen Zhu paid for doing this.No one would be willing to live with the enemy.This kind of her deserves to be used by herself? The biggest hobby is to be cherished.

"You are my shortcoming, and what I want to protect is also to protect you."

Hearing her utter such lingering love words in the most gentle tone, Cen Zhuo's heart skipped a beat, and he squinted his eyes in enjoyment, "Well, I like to hear these words."

Standing up? I was a little tired, so I hugged her to sit on a chair, and Cen Zhu rubbed her face, "Then let's stop being angry, shall we? You don't even know how sad I was this year. Finally, at the banquet When I saw you last time, you didn't even look at me, how sad it is, I came so happy, but I came back disappointed."

"You were the one who didn't look at me first." Li Jingchen threw himself on her shoulder, complaining tearfully, with great grievance in his voice.

Cen Zhu sighed, his heart was hot and humid: "Okay, okay, don't cry, from now on, none of us are allowed to ignore anyone, okay?"

"Ok!"

The two immediately untied their knots and snuggled together and talked about many things in the past.It was obviously heart-piercing at the beginning, but now it has become more interesting.

Cen Zhuo was very funny: "Hey, do you know? When you came to Jiangnan to raise food for the first time, I thought it was time for revenge, so I made a bad idea, and wanted to show you some color."

"What's wrong with you?"

Cen Zhu coughed, "I spread some rumors in advance, saying that the national treasury is now a bottomless pit, and the loss is so great that we can catch whoever is cheating. Whoever donated the food this time will be designated next time. Again and again, it will definitely entangle you until you lose all your money."

Li Jingchen gritted her teeth bitterly. She remembered that when she first came to Jiangnan to raise grain, the grain merchants in Jiangnan avoided her like a tiger. At that time, she suspected that someone was making trouble. High officials" bestowed.

Cen Zhu looked smug, "I am the vane of the grain and business circles in the south of the Yangtze River. I am well-connected and well-informed. They all have to follow my face and act according to my face. If you hadn't found Hua Qing later, I think it's very interesting. Let's go." I want to play with you guys. Otherwise, you'll have to go around like headless flies for a few days."

"Believe it or not, if someone else broke into Taohuazhuang that day, I would definitely smash the flower pot in her face."

Li Jingchen glared at her angrily.

"But unfortunately, that person is you! Do you know? The first time I saw you, I felt?

"Hmph, I knew you had no good intentions sitting there sneakily."

"..."

"Also, when I saw you for the first time, I didn't wear a silk cloth like a red cloud. Where did your memory come from?"

"This... don't need to worry about it?"

The two haven't been intimate for a long time, and cuddling together is like a burning fire.Cen Zhu rubbed his mouth against her cheek, slowly lowered his lips to hold the long-lost lips, and kissed together impatiently.Cen Zhu felt the same fiery enthusiasm from the other party, and was obsessed with her entanglement, a raging wildfire ignited in his heart.If it wasn't for the fact that her hands were a little dirty from picking up the dirt before, she really wanted to? Untie the other party's buttons.Fortunately, the two still knew how to avoid taboos. After the dry firewood was burned, they slowly cooperated with each other to relax, loosen their soft teeth, and just cuddled together to enjoy the rare quietness.

Suddenly there was the sound of footsteps coming towards the window, Cen Zhu was startled, and quickly hugged the person and hid behind the chair.The footsteps stopped at the window, and a hunchback figure was reflected from the window. It should be the servant who got up at night. He listened to the movement outside the window for a while, but turned around and left again without hearing anything.

Cen Zhu breathed a long sigh of relief, and suddenly let out a "hiss", and Li Jingzhu hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"

"I was scratched by a cat, didn't I feel it just now? It hurts a little now."

"let me see."

Li Jingzhu took her hand off her face, but the room was too dark to see anything, as soon as his hand touched the wound, Cen Zhu was in pain? Hissing.

She complained a bit: "I put some mint in my sachet, it may be the smell that cats like. You are a person, sometimes it is your own fault."

Cen Zhuo looked innocent.

"Okay, go back and get some medicine, or you will be in pain all night."

Cen Zhu laughed again: "It's okay, it's okay, just scratch your skin and go back and get some medicine."

Li Jingchen was worried, he looked at the sky, it was almost four o'clock, and forced her to get up and leave.Cen Zhu was still a little bit reluctant. He procrastinated and walked around the house for a while, before he and Li Jingzhu returned the same way.

Back in the small woods, re-bury the giant ladder and cover it with dead leaves.After a lot of effort, Li Jingchen couldn't bear it anymore, "Why not use a rope ladder? Wouldn't it be convenient to bury it?"

Cen Zhu also frowned, "Hey, I didn't bury it, it was my brother who buried it. He is quite straightforward. Back then, I asked him to help me get a ladder, so he made this for me. He also said It’s made of coffin boards, cypress wood, anti-corrosion. It’s easy for him to carry it by himself, but I’m exhausted.”

"..."

Li Jingchen grasped the words in her words, "Back then?"

Now that things have come to an end, Cen Zhu has nothing to hide from her. That year was the year she assassinated Tu Yunkai.Sure enough, the empress dowager was very angry when she mentioned this.But the point of her anger is not that she presumptuously advocated hitting a pebble with a rock, but that she took a risk with her own body and almost lost her life.If Yunzhong hadn't deliberately let her go, she might have been buried in the woods in this small village.How can you not be angry?

Cen Zhu comforted her with kind words, "Isn't this already over? Don't mention those old things."

After finally coaxing her to the place where the horse was tied, he untied the rope and asked, "Where are you going?"

"The alley when we came and went. Cloud seeds? They should still be waiting in place."

Cen Zhu curled his lips, turned the horse's head around, and said in a sour tone, "He is doing his duty well."

Li Jingchen heard it, pinched her waist, and said angrily: "Don't be jealous casually." After speaking, as if remembering something, he pinched her nose and shook it left and right: "Don't be jealous either. "

"It's strange. I don't have so many flower protectors around me. How can you be jealous?"

"That's right, there are no flower protectors, but there are meal delivery messengers." Li Jingchen left her alone, walked aside and sulked.Cen Zhu thought it was funny, and leaned in front of her: "You mean Xiao Zhuang, how old is Xiao Zhuang, and we are ten years apart, so jealous of him? Isn't it boring, you?"

Li Jingchen turned his head around and said unhappily, "Did you do it on purpose?" Playing stupid?

Cen Zhu tilted his head and thought for a while: "You mean Gu Qing? Then there's no need for you to be jealous, Gu Qinghe? It's impossible for me. Oh, by the way, I haven't told you yet? What's the matter? Let's go, get on the horse first, and talk slowly on the way."

"That's how it happened. At that time, Gu Qing's adoptive father and adoptive mother forced her to marry someone she had never met. After I heard about it, I planned to help her. It happened that it was a troubled time, and I Needing a marriage to fend off those endless streams of family-seekers, I wrote to Gu Qing's adoptive father and adoptive mother, and made up a story of love at first sight. Her adoptive father and adoptive mother were very happy, thinking? She sent Gu Qing here. In fact, all Gu Qing wants is freedom. We agreed that if one day she has someone she likes, and if that person is worthy of entrusting her for life, we will use The way of feigning death is to take off Gu Qing's identity and give her freedom. Therefore, this marriage is a cover from the beginning to the end."

Just when Li Jingchen thought about it, he refuted her: "Is this just what you think?" Suddenly, Cen Zhu looked up at the high place with a look of astonishment on his face.

She also turned her head to look, and suddenly saw a red light rising from the overlapping roof tiles in the distance.

"Oops, it seems that the Yamen is on fire."
