Chapter 120 Worry and Fear
Ren Xiang is a talented man and nodded repeatedly: "This matter is indeed a long-term plan!"
But Mother Wang glared at Xiao Sa fiercely and pulled Chen Muqing aside.
"I think this Xiao Qi is not a good person, so aunt should be careful."
Chen Muqing thought of the words Li said on the carriage that day, "I won't have to show up in the future."
Different living environments will lead to different behaviors.
She didn't want to challenge these rules that had been around for thousands of years, but she had too many secrets in her heart, such as Liang Jimin, the plan that was repeatedly deduced in her heart... No one can say it, and she also tried her best to hide it... This burden made her feel nervous, worried, afraid, anxious...!
Xiao Sa, like an accident in her life, opened another window for her, and blew a cool breeze to her stagnant life. His flying, his arrogance, and his unruly made her understand that there was really someone living like this... But no matter how much appreciation, no matter how envy, after all these emotions, she would rationally return to her original life track, do whatever she should do, say whatever she should say. But when she was angry, confused, unwilling, or hesitant, she would also unable to help push open the window and take a breath of the fresh air outside the window, fantasizing whether I should be so casual as well, and then her behavior gradually deviated...
Did this kind of rebellion come at the wrong time?
She smiled bitterly: "Don't worry, mom, I'm responsible."
How could Mother Wang feel at ease?
She couldn't help but complain: "This fourth girl is really harmful. If it weren't for her, why would I put Xiao Qi and Ren Xiang in... If the wife knew about this, what would have happened!"
Yes, if Li knew, something might have happened!
Chen Muqing was shocked, and the expression on his face gradually became solemn.
*******
Xiao Sa smiled and listened absent-mindedly to Ren Xiang's talk about how he mobilized people to look for Chen Yuerong near Taicang, but the corners of his eyes couldn't help but float to Chen Muqing's body.
She stood beside the newly pasted window lattice paper, and the light was cast on her face with jade-like whiteness, giving her face a kind of peace that makes people's heart slowly settle down.
There was a faint joy between his lips and eyebrows.
No one has ever been like her, expressing joy, anger, sorrow and happiness in front of them, nor has anyone ever been like her, facing his ridicule, ridicule, and violence calmly... Sometimes he is tolerant of him as a naughty child, and sometimes he is teasing him as a playmate... No one has ever treated him like her.
When he was adopted by the fourth uncle, the mother knew that his father had given birth to the eldest son before her in the outer room, and the second son was only two months away from him... When he arrived at the fourth uncle's house, the fourth wife was just pregnant at that time and always shouted that she would give birth to a son, why should the old man's son be adopted in their house... When his younger brother was born, he was sent back to his hometown in Lincheng and lived with his grandfather.
In his memory, the grandfather's room full of rosewood furniture was always filled with the choking smell of Kanto smoke. The light that occasionally shone in was never bright but gray. The faces of the concubines and mothers always had joyful smiles - at that time he always felt strange, why are there always people happy and not sad? Unlike him, when he looked up at the square sky every day, he felt a suffocating smell, which made him feel uneasy... He wanted to jump onto the eaves and see what the outside world was like!
Later he grew up. The uncles and uncles of the previous generation looked at him with unwillingness and gloating, the aunts looked at him with compassion and pity, the brothers and sisters of the same generation saw him with jealousness and a little anger, and the children and nephews of the next generation saw him with curiosity and a little temptation... No one smiled sincerely at him. No, there was a pomegranate that used to serve him close to him, and spit out the candy he stuffed into her mouth and said in annoyance, "I don't like to eat sweets." When he was not doing his homework, he took a board and threatened to hit him... This person who once gave him a headache and helpless one day suddenly hugged him tightly, begging him in a very sad tone: "I'm dead, burn me to ashes, and then scattered under the pomegranate tree in the corner of the house."
He still remembered that he pushed away the pomegranate and jumped anxiously: "Give me my sword back, otherwise when you die, I will throw you to the chasm outside the city, so that no one can burn incense, become a lonely ghost, and cannot be reincarnated."
The sword he mentioned was a peach wood sword that the Taoist priest from Sanqingguan asked the servant to steal for him when he was catching ghosts in his house. At that time, he didn't want to study, but wanted to be a hero in the book, carrying the sword, walking around, and fighting for justice.
Pomegranate said nothing at that time, touched his head and sighed quietly.
That night, the pomegranate committed suicide by swallowing gold.
My grandfather asked someone to bury her in a cemetery - she spent two taels of silver to buy her into the mansion, not the family gave birth to a child, nor did she say that she was the other person.
He hugged the pomegranate's body and refused to drag it away.
Grandfather sighed and said to the person next to him: "Don't worry about him, it will be fine in two days."
No one dares to disobey his grandfather, nor does he dare.
He knew that his grandfather's words would allow the pomegranate's body to be kept at home for two days.
He found firewood, poured oil on it, and set the fire.
The fire surged into the sky, awakening everyone in the family.
Everyone was wearing clothes and running around.
Grandfather's face turned pale and raised his hand and slapped him.
"What do you want to do?"
He watched the flames rolled the pomegranate in, and watched her gradually curl, making a pungent and strange smell...
But he held back and stood there watching.
In the old house, only his grandfather and him lived... He didn't dare to ask why pomegranates committed suicide by swallowing gold.
So when his grandfather slapped him in the face, he suddenly laughed.
He smiled and said to his grandfather, "I want to sprinkle her ashes under the pomegranate tree."
The grandfather looked at him as if he was looking at a madman, while the eldest wife rushed over with tears in her throat.
From then on, the servants pointed at him behind his back, and the uncle at home looked alert when he saw him... But he didn't feel sad because he found that no one dared to say "no" to him anymore.
Then, the eldest wife transferred her companion Pang Debao back from a very far away from Guangdong and began to serve him in close proximity.
Pang Debao served him with all his heart and strength, treating him as respectful as the real master, and also stared at the burnt and dead pomegranate tree. But he was not satisfied, but often felt irritable and uneasy. He wanted someone like a pomegranate. When he didn't want to, he would say "no" to him, and when he liked him, he would say "like" to him... instead of letting him guess...
Just like Shen Muqing... No matter what he is, she believes that she will not hurt him... she will show a quiet expression like a Bodhisattva to him... If she is happy, her eyes will flash with the brilliance of stars... That is the expression she never showed in front of others, only for him, only he knows, which always gives him a mysterious joy after seeing the secret, and sees the essential joy through the appearance...
Xiao Sa paid attention to Chen Muqing wholeheartedly. Seeing her frowning slightly, seeing her cheeks flushed, and seeing her helpless smile... the smile on the corner of his mouth became stiff... There was a bitter astringent feeling in his heart.
Mother Wang is teaching her a lesson?
Mu Qing, who is like the beauty of the sky, was taught a lesson from a mother because of herself...
His heart suddenly felt like he was upset!
I just wanted to... I wanted to see the sly smile in my eyes, the cheeks that were as beautiful as peach blossoms in March, and the slender eyelashes that trembled like butterflies' wings... but she was humiliated like this...
Xiao Sa's hands were pinched tightly, and his fingertips turned white.
But he knew nothing.
*******
Four people stood together again.
Xiao Sa's face was still so cheerful and his expression was still so calm. Chen Muqing could feel a kind of loneliness and decadence emanating from him... like a bright oil cup, gradually burning out.
She couldn't help but secretly amazed in her heart.
What did Ren Xiang and Xiao Sa say to him, and it actually made him look like he was hit hard?
But Mother Wang was very happy.
Xiao Qi still had a hint of a hint. Seeing that he pulled his aunt aside, he became much more honest.
Ren Xiang's eyes flashed, and he was so cool that he was so cool that he was so cool that he was so cool that he was so cool that he was so cool that he was so cool that he was so cool that he was so cool that he was so cool that he was so cool that he was so cool that he was so cool that he was so cool that he was so cool that he was so cool that he was so cool that he was so cool that he was so cool that he was so cool that he was so cool that he was so cool that he was so cool that he was so
"Mr. Ren, now that my cousin has had such a thing, I want to hear your thoughts?"
Chen Muqing had a calm expression and asked Ren Xiang calmly.
Ren Xiang was named and looked slightly unhappy.
"What do you have to say just!" Xiao Sa's expression was gloomy, like the weather before the storm, with a faint frenzy that was about to break out, which made people feel heartbroken. "This matter has been promoted. The Shen family is indeed a big scandal, but for you, I'm afraid it's not so glamorous, right?"
Ren Xiang wanted to speak but stopped.
Xiao Sa was impatient: "Ren Xiang, do you believe it? I have a hundred ways to make you unable to speak?"
Ren Xiang smiled bitterly, but answered very convincedly: "I believe it."
Chen Muqing couldn't help but look at the two people in surprise.
I just lived together for a few days, but I actually figured out each other's weaknesses?
"There is a piece of land in Miss Chen's dowry, which is on the West Bridge of Taicang, and is leaning against the Shitang Canal." Ren Xiang said carefully, "If you can get that piece of land, you can build a wharf next to the Shitang Canal. At that time, any ship passing by Taicang will have to dock at the wharf. In time, I will be able to compete with the people of the Chongming Gang."
Fortunately it's for money!
Chen Muqing was relieved when he heard this.
But Mother Wang couldn't help but mutter: "It's just for such a piece of land... Mr. Ren has worked a lot!" There was a bit of sarcasm in his tone.
"Mom doesn't know anything," Ren Xiang saw that the two women in the house seemed to be puzzled by their behavior, and couldn't help but argue: "I also asked the fourth girl to buy that piece of land, but no matter how much I paid, the fourth girl would not sell it. Not only that, when she knew my plan, she was planning to sell the land to the Chongming Gang. I had no choice, so..."
(Add to watch it tomorrow (*^__^*)hehe...)
