43. Taming a tiger into a cat

Come on, buy a little more, and you will see my update. As the yamen runner said, handing over a soft white bread and a cup of milk.

This is Chen Huaian's dinner tonight. After taking the steamed bun and milk, he turned around and sat on a pile of rotten mattresses with smell of smelly sweat. He did not eat the steamed bun or drink milk. He just held it in his hand and stared at the stove that was about to be extinguished not far away.

The two yamen runners winked each other, thinking that the court told Chen Huaian to die. They used the most warm method. Chen Huaian refused to eat it, so he must know that it was poisonous. Otherwise, let's be cruel and take advantage of the iron exhaustion and let's kill him.

At this moment, Chen Huaian's dry and sharp lips finally opened a little bit: "I'm waiting for someone, but if she doesn't come, I won't die. When she comes, I will definitely seek death by myself, and you won't have to do it."

After hearing this, the two yamen runners looked solemn and serious. They also knew that although Chen Huaian was a treacherous man in the court, he was very loyal, trustworthy, and kept his word. Since he said he was waiting for someone, he would definitely have to wait for the man to come and meet him before he could die. After all, they only took his life and had no personal grudge with him, so they withdrew.

Chen Huaian was the only one left in the steaming iron room in the middle of winter. He then stood up again, opened the window, looked at the whistling north wind outside the window, and stared at the way he came.

In fact, there is no need to poison him, he is willing to die.

Throughout his life, he called friends and indulged in poetry, wine and swords when he was young, and lived a very leisurely life.

When he was young, his biological father was restored and his position was at the highest level. He also followed him to the court as an official, becoming a great scholar, and as a scholar, both father and son, accompanied him in front of the king. He was a party dispute in the court, and he had been fighting for ten years. He also ruled out that he had killed others and had made great efforts for the country and the people, and had done all the bad things and did all the good things, and was worthy of the heaven, earth, the king, minister, father and son.

Even if he was defeated in the party struggle and was exiled to Youzhou as a coolie, Chen Huaian would not hate anyone. After all, he had done countless bad things in his life. If he was really punished by heaven, he would have struck him several times.

Why are you unwilling to die?

Suddenly, a thin figure appeared on the gate of the iron yard. She was holding a bag in her arms and was shaking the iron gate, competing with the yamen runners, obviously trying to persuade the yamen runners to let him in.

That was Chen Huaian's ex-wife Luo Jintang. Although Chen Huaian wrote a letter to the capital and was waiting for her, he didn't expect that she would really come.

The two of them had actually divorced three years ago. He thought she had become a kin to Ning Yuanhou and would definitely not see him again in his life, which hurt her many unfaithful people, but he did not expect that she would come after all.

Chen Huaian suddenly burst into tears, turned around and picked up the cup of milk and drank it all in one gulp, and stuffed white buns into his mouth.

In this life, she is the only person he has ever beentrayed and ashamed of.

But she also hurt him so deeply that he didn't even want to see her alive. He just wanted to take a look at her thin shoulders and her cute and charming face when she was quiet. But when he thought of her mean, knife-like mouth, Chen Huaian didn't want to make trouble for himself anymore, and listened to her complaints and curses.

So, before she entered the door, he had eaten the poison early.

The bun was probably holding a machine, and Chen Huaian gradually felt his hands and feet numb and twitching, but he still opened his eyes, held the window, and stared at Luo Jintang who was walking towards him step by step.

As he got closer, he realized that she was not even wearing a fur coat. She even had several layers of patches on her cotton shoes. She was as beautiful as a spring peach. She always asked him to take a look at her and her heart would be soft-hearted. She also lost her former light. She looked withered and haggard, and her lips were bloodless.

Did she not do well after he left the capital?

Did the Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion not accept her in the end?

If she is not happy and has a bad life, then everything he has done before is a waste of effort. What is the meaning of his death?

With a series of questions, Chen Huaian called poison erosion, and the damaged brain finally stopped functioning and swallowed his last breath.

*

The yamen runner who pushed the door and let Luo Jintang come in tried Chen Huaian's breath, patted his face and said, "Hey, Mr. Chen, it's true that someone is coming in the wind and snow. You are..."

After taking a look at the cup containing milk and the half of the bun, the yamen runner understood that the man was poisoned to death in the end.

He said, "Okay, it seems that Chen Ge always doesn't want to live anymore and commits suicide. Since you are his predecessor, you should scrub him well and calm down."

Luo Jintang put down the bag in his hand, glanced at the charcoal that was about to be extinguished in the iron stove, sneered, but shed tears: "You said that if you don't see me again in this life, you really have to close your eyes before entering the door?"

But don’t you have a wife and a son, and have a family business? Why don’t Feng Ailian and your son come to collect your body for you? Your father Chen Che is still the assistant of the court, and you won’t save your life. So you will stay in such a miserable place? In the end, you ask me, an outsider, to wear clothes for you?"

He poked Chen Huaian's forehead with a finger and looked at his dark blue lips. Luo Jintang suddenly recalled that this man was dead. Since all the people were dead, so much anger disappeared at the beginning, what else could he say?

But she couldn't relieve her hatred after all, and stomped on the floor and said, "If I want to say that my life is completely ruined in your hands, I will come today, and I will kill you while I have a breath. You still want me to restrain your body, don't think about it..."

Although she said this, she finally got up, rummaged around in this small stone house, and found water to wipe Chen Huaian's body.

If you want to talk about Luo Jintang's life, it was actually ruined by Chen Huaian.

She was originally the daughter of an ordinary family in Weihe County, Qinzhou. When she first married Chen Huaian, Chen Huaian was just a second son of the Fenglang family. His eldest and third brothers were studying hard and were very promising. He didn't like to study much. He followed a group of officials in the county all day to have a drink and play, fill in poems, and play with swords and guns.

The husband doesn't study hard, and Luo Jintang doesn't know how many times he has advised him. In addition, the trivial matters at home, the two of them quarrel every three days and quarrel every five days, and there is no day without blushing.

Later, the two of them went out to live alone and started a small business. Their lives were quite prosperous, and that was also the most loving period for them in their lives.

Chen Huaian failed the exam many times, and Luo Jintang didn't regard this as a wise man, just thought that he would be a loser in his life.

Who knew that one day, the Chen family said that he was not his own biological child. After a few years of trouble, his biological father became a high-ranking official in court because the emperor knew about it and wanted to recognize his son.

Then Luo Jintang followed Chen Huaian to the capital.

As a scholar, Chen Huaian followed his biological father Chen Che to play the role of a supporting minister. Her husband became a success. Logically speaking, Luo Jintang, a wife, deserves a noble wife and a noble wife, and is awarded the title of imperial edict, but she is not happy at all.

The biological mother and her adoptive mother and two mother-in-laws, and Luo Jintang and her daughter-in-law have been rubbed for many times, but they are all angry every day. She was angry with her mother-in-law in front of the two mother-in-laws, so she naturally had to argue with Chen Huaian when she came back. As soon as she quarreled, he would slam the door and leave.

After a few more years, although Luo Jintang hated Chen Huaian, because he had not taken a concubine under the pressure of his mother on both sides, Luo Jintang also endured that he had not divorced him.

Finally, I divorced him because one day she ran into him and found out that he had already been in the outdoor room. At that time, the sons who had given birth to the outdoor room were already five years old.

Only then did Luo Jintang realize that Chen Huaian people were not here, and their hearts were not here. The reason why he forced himself to do it was just to show outsiders that he would not abandon his bad luck after he became famous.

On the day she met the outdoor room, she grabbed Chen Huaian's face and almost pulled one of his ears, making him look like a dog-headed person. On that day, the emperor was in private patrol and just in front of his house, Chen Huaian's face was completely lost.

At that time, Chen Huaian pointed to her nose and said, "Heli, I will never want to see you again if you die in this life."

After leaving, Luo Jintang started a business in the capital. An orphan girl opened her house and was bullied for a day. Of course, those people were sent by Chen Huaian.

When she opened a bookstore, she sent people to smash the bookstore premises, and when she opened a pawnshop, she sent people to smash the pawnshop premises. In just three years, the money she brought with her when she divorced her was completely ruined.

At that time, Luo Jintang thought that if one day he could stop the sedan chair carried by the twenty-four people when he entered the court, he would not be able to relieve his hatred even if he shaved thousands of swords.

So when he received a letter from Chen Huaian and asked her to go to Youzhou to see him, Luo Jintang borrowed some money and came from afar, just to laugh at him and humiliate him, and then wiped him out to relieve his hatred.

Since the person is dead, what else can I say?

Luo Jintang was filled with anger, because Chen Huaian's death could not be eliminated, and the wind and snow were full of wind and snow, looking at the dead man in despair.

He exhausted her youth and ruined everything about her, but he didn't even give her the chance to exclaim her anger. He even died before her, and wanted to anger her for the last time.

After scolding and crying, he wished he could trample Chen Huaian to death. Luo Jintang took off his burden and took out a clean gray shroud from it.

He cleaned Chen Huaian's body with water. Luo Jintang changed into the clean set of charcoal blue faces and swastika embroidered with swastika patterns, which were just the height of his body. He was neat and clean, and it was the corpse of the specific face.

Luo Jintang scooped half a cup of raw water with Chen Huaian's milk cup and drank it completely.

Then, she tied Chen Huaian's body with a rope and held it on her shoulders with difficulty. She stammered her lips for a long time, picked up the half of the bun stained with dust from the ground, carefully pounced the ash cleanly and put it in her arms.

After all, she had spent all her money on her way, and had not had a full meal for two days. After hesitating for a while, Luo Jintang pushed open the door with Chen Huaian's body on her back and walked into the wind and snow that was coming. While chewing the soft bun, she dragged Chen Huaian's tall body and walked forward with difficulty.

The north wind like a ghost howling smacked the snow foam on his face, cold and cold, and tears immediately condensed into transparent ice on his face, but Jintang didn't feel cold. The suffering he was born with, the struggle of thirty years of being a human being dissipated in an instant, and instead felt a sense of liberation.

I met Chen Huaian for thirteen years, and had ten years of marriage. When I was in great joy, I swore to each other, no matter who died first, I would bury my bones and wait for each other on the Naihe Bridge.
