Cing Si Hui: Tears, Dreams, Weeping and Fog
The night wind blew on her face, and before she knew it, she found herself standing in the desolate grass, with no one around. Zhang He and Zhang Ning, who had just wandered with her in the night market in Yecheng, had no trace at this moment.
No matter how she called their names, no one paid attention to her.
Except for the green grass shining with the cold moonlight, white light shone back and forth in response to her...
Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves came from behind her. When she turned around, someone rode on the horse and flashed quickly from her side. When the horse passed by, he could not see clearly what the person looked like, and he could not even recognize his figure.
She wanted to reach out and call him, but let her stop. The man seemed to have no sound and galloped straight ahead until he disappeared into the dark curtain in front of her and could no longer be found.
Just as she was about to give up, the jade pendant hanging around her neck shone with dazzling brilliance. At the same time, her body involuntarily ran towards the direction where the rider disappeared, and she couldn't stop even if she wanted to.
In fact, the horse rider who should have been unable to catch up appeared in front of her again after chasing her for a while. However, at this distance of several feet, she tripped on the ground by the stone under her feet...
"Don't leave!"
She sat up suddenly and reached out to the front, but everything in front of her was no longer the vast grassland just now, but the bedroom where she lived. After looking back, she realized that what she had just seen was just a dream.
The bedroom door was pushed open, and Zhang Ning quickly walked in and sat down at her couch when she heard the sound. She found that her face was sweating, her eyes were dazed in front of her, and her right hand was tightly holding the jade pendant on her chest, shaking slightly.
"Chunhua, are you okay?" Zhang Ning took Chunhua into her arms and gently patted her back to comfort her:
"It's okay, it's okay, are you having a nightmare?"
Chunhua looked up at Zhang Ning and said in a low voice: "Who is that person? I can't catch him no matter how much I chase him..."
Zhang Ning gently wiped the cold sweat from Chunhua's forehead. Faced with Chunhua's problem, she shook her head. How could she know who the person in Chunhua's dream was, and how could she know why Chunhua was chasing him? Maybe it was just an accidental dream.
The young Chunhua listened to Zhang Ning's words and did not think too much.
Since Yuan Shao recognized Chunhua as his adopted daughter, he has repeatedly urged her to move into Yuan's mansion, but Zhang He privately asked Yuan Xi, who had always had a good relationship with him, and persuaded Yuan Shao not to take Chunhua into the mansion for the time being.
In fact, the Yuan family was not as peaceful as imagined. Mrs. Liu, the official wife of Yuan Shao, was jealous by nature. Most of the wives in the side were excluded by him, especially the biological mother of the eldest son Yuan Tan was persecuted several times. Fortunately, he was protected by Yuan Tan several times before he escaped the dilemma.
Mrs. Liu was the biological mother of the second son Yuan Xi and the third son Yuan Shang. Yuan Xi knew that his mother was a human being. Looking at the innocent and lovely Chunhua, he had no intention of seizing power, and he did not want Chunhua to get involved in the power dispute between the Yuan family. So he made a statement in front of Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao finally agreed to his opinion, just let Chunhua go around Yuan's mansion, and gave her the honor of being taught by Chen Lin with Yuan Mai.
Since the assassination incident, the relationship between Zhen Mi and Zhang Ning and Chunhua has gradually become closer.
Not only that, Zhen Mi always deliberately avoided Yuan Xi until she came back from Handan, she found that Yuan Xi and Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang were different. He had no ambition to compete for fame and fortune, and had good character and personality, which won Zhen Mi's favor.
On weekdays, Yuan Xi was very kind to Chunhua and treated her as a real sister. In her spare time, she held her hand and traveled everywhere. When she occasionally took her to Zhen Mi's residence, Chunhua was also favored by Zhen Mi. In addition, Yuan Mai seemed to have a sister-like dependence on Chunhua. The two often went around Yuan Shao's left and right knees, which attracted Yuan Shao's favor, which made Chunhua's status in Yuan's mansion grow day by day. Even the servants respected her, as if she was Yuan Shao's biological daughter.
One day, Chen Lin had just finished teaching the class. When they left, Yuan Xi, who had been waiting outside the door, came forward and picked up Chunhua and Yuan Mai, and said to Chen Lin who bowed to him: "Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Kong Zhang."
Chen Lin bowed and said a few politely before leaving.
"Have you listened to Mr. Chen's words today?"
The two of them shouted in unison: "Yes!"
Yuan Xi smiled and put the two of them down, squatted down and touched their heads and said:
"For your obedience, your sister Zhen Mi made some pastries today and took you to eat."
Chunhua and Yuan Mai celebrated in unison again.
Zhen Mi's residence is in a villa not far from the southeast corner outside Yuan's mansion. This was carefully selected by Yuan Xi for him. Every time Chunhua followed Yuan Xi outside the wall, there were already a fragrance of flowers floating across the wall.
After hearing from Zhen Mi's maid, in order to keep the other yard full of flowers, Yuan Xi tried his best to transport many precious cold-resistant flower seeds from the south through various channels and planted them in the yard, so the driver's colorfulness was the one.
Occasionally, some naughty children would climb over the wall and want to pick flowers. After being caught by the inspected soldiers several times, Zhen Mi forgives them and asks the soldiers to release them and refuse to pursue them.
After entering through the gate, the yard was covered with flat bluestone slabs, bamboo was planted beside the east and west walls, and the spare place was filled with all kinds of flowers. There was also a camellia tree and a plum tree in the south corner. The tea tree was transplanted a few days ago and was not very tall. The plum tree had already risen above the wall, and the branches were hanging on the top of the wall like an adult's arms, hanging outside the yard.
Not far from the two trees is a circular stone platform, with five stone benches evenly scattered on the edges, and the stone benches are filled with refreshments.
At this moment, Zhen Mi walked out of the house and looked very happy when she saw Chunhua and Yuan Mai. She quickly stepped forward and bent over to say hello to the two children. Yuan Xi stood behind the child and smiled at the warm scene, and said:
"You really like children..."
Zhen Mi smiled but said nothing. Yuan Mai looked up and looked at Yuan Xi and said, "
"Sister married my second brother early, and you will soon have a younger brother..."
Yuan Xi and Zhen Mi couldn't help but feel shy after hearing this. Yuan Xi squatted down and asked softly in a tone of responsibility:
"Maier, who said this to you?"
"Big brother, third brother, mother... they all say so..."
"Okay, okay, I'm just talking, sit down quickly." Zhen Mi changed the subject and helped Chunhua and Yuan Mai's hands to take them to the stone platform to sit down, then picked up the pastry and handed it to Yuan Mai and Chunhua.
After Yuan Mai took the pastry, he put it directly to his mouth and started to eat it. When Chunhua took the pastry, a very familiar scene suddenly flashed through his mind:
He also handed the dry food cake in his hand to him with one hand. He smiled very kindly at him, as if he was very close to him, and he seemed to like this person very much.
But no matter how hard she tried to look at his face, she couldn't see his appearance clearly...
"What's wrong?"
Yuan Xi saw Chunhua in a daze and shook her gently. Chunhua quickly escaped from the illusory thoughts. She no longer thought about the person who made her unable to recall her appearance, and raised her hand to put the cake in her mouth.
In the evening, Yuan Xi and Zhen Mi took Chunhua and Zhang Ning to the night market together. On the way, Chunhua saw a vendor who seemed to be selling very interesting things. Many people gathered around to watch, and she was curious and came over.
When she walked over there and wanted to call Zhen Mi and the others to come together, she turned around and found that there was no one left. She took two steps forward to look for them and called them, but there was no response.
Suddenly, a voice came from behind her ears: "Your Majesty!"
She hurriedly turned around, but what was in front of her was no longer a night market with vendors along the street and a red lights, but a scene that had appeared in her dream before... the endless grassland.
Someone was slumped on the ground, and a tall man was holding a spear in his hand to stab him.
At the critical moment, someone used his back to block the head of the gun with a cold light.
The man was saved, but the other man fell on his body, with blood on his back, leaning on his shoulder on the person he saved. Chunhua was very scared and walked forward tremblingly.
Every time I approached that person, the light of the jade pendant on my chest became stronger. Until it reached a distance that was enough to see his face clearly, a violent tearing came from her head, and it hurt that she fell to her knees on the ground and cried in pain...
"Don't die!"
Once again, she sat up, but everything in front of her was just the scene in her dormitory.
She cried and was sad, but she didn't understand who she was sad for, and who she was crying for. Her cheeks were shining with tears under the candlelight. At a loss, she could only fall in Zhang Ning's arms and let her emotions go.
