Chapter 18 Regeneration Waves
The moonlight fell through the light gauze window in front of the couch. The girl leaning on the pillow had her hair hanging down. She was only wearing duck egg green pajamas. Her dark hair made the girl's face fairer. On her small nose was a pair of extremely beautiful noses. With his eyes open, he was quietly looking at the bright moon outside the window, seemingly distracted.
In the silence, Niannu walked in from outside and bowed.
"Princess, people are here."
Hearing the voice, Li Sui tilted his head, straightened his clothes, and said calmly: "Please come in."
When Nian Nu entered again, there was a woman following behind her. She was thin and her facial features were not beautiful, but she looked extremely comfortable.
"Princess Princess——"
The woman in front of him bowed respectfully, and Li Sui smiled, raised her hand and said, "Please sit down."
As soon as the words left his mouth, a faint sound of clothes could be heard in the quiet room, and the person in front of him suddenly knelt down and bowed respectfully.
"Yunxiu thanks the princess for her great kindness."
Hearing this, Li Sui motioned for Nian Nu to help him up. However, this thin woman knelt down in front of the couch firmly and even persistently, touching her forehead deeply to the floor tiles. Under the candlelight, the woman's face flickered and her figure was slightly slim. Trembling, but not weak at all.
The next moment, the woman's choked sobs, which she tried hard to suppress, came from the silence.
"If the princess hadn't stripped me of my pleasure and brought good medicine, I still don't know whether I am dead or alive, how could I have saved my brother's life? Although Yunxiu's life is humble, she will definitely do her best to repay the kindness of the princess. , for my sake and for my brother’s sake, please, Princess, accept my brother’s respect.”
"I have the honor to meet your grandfather. He is a rare and righteous person in this palace wall-"
Niannu glanced at Li Sui after hearing the words, and couldn't help but retract her hand silently. The next moment, the girl on the couch slowly walked down, squatted down gently, not caring about the tail of her skirt that fell on the ground, and just gently stretched out her hands to lift her eyes. However, one can clearly feel that the arm of the person in his hand is slightly stiff, as if he is trying his best to restrain something.
"His descendants are of pure origin, how can they be said to be humble?"
When this sentence comes into my ears, it is like a slender jade finger gently plucking the strings covered with dust. The dust is lingering and the sound of the piano is clear.
Over the years, under the trampling of others, she had heard the word humble too many times, and she never thought that it would become her own habitual response without realizing it.
"In these troubled times, women are just like duckweeds. When we encounter injustice in the world, all we can do is try to live, and live with dignity for ourselves and those who love us."
Li Sui's voice was low and gentle, but it gradually penetrated people's hearts.
When Yun Xiu raised her head in confusion and looked at the beautiful lady in front of her who was obviously two years younger than her, her beautiful eyes were filled with indescribable tenderness and encouragement. She gently brushed her fingertips away. There were tears in her eyes, and the words "try hard to live on" penetrated into her ears and deeply touched her heart.
Yun Xiu couldn't help but think that once upon a time, she was also from a family of medical practitioners. However, overnight, her grandfather, who was in the Imperial Medical Office, was executed for being involved in a palace battle, and she and her family were defeated.
Even though she later entered Pingkangfang, because of her ordinary appearance and strong temperament, she was reduced to the lowest-ranking maid in the music hall, and was insulted and beaten by others.
These may have been numb to her for a long time, but when she, with her medical skills, saw her seriously ill brother lying on the cold and wet bed with no cure, that was when she really I feel that I am like the most inconspicuous drop in the ocean, just waiting for someone to gently twist it, and then disappear without a trace, as if I have never been in this world.
Helpless, even useless.
Without the person in front of her, Li Sui, Chang'an would be nothing more than the withered bones of her and her brother, leaving nothing behind.
"In the past, your and your younger brother's lives were in the hands of others. From now on, she will only be in your own hands."
Feeling the gentle strength in Li Sui's hand, Yun Xiu stood up. After that, at Li Sui's signal, Nian Nu took out two pieces of paper from his sleeves. Yun Xiu looked at them and saw those two pieces of paper fluttering lightly.
The paper was actually a house deed in Guangling and a letter of recommendation to study at Bailu Academy.
Under Yun Xiu's shocked eyes, Li Sui handed two things into Yun Xiu's cold hands.
"If you are willing, you and your younger brother can exchange new identities in the future. These expenses will be enough for your brother to study at Bailu Academy. In the future, it will also be enough for you and your sister to live in Guangling and have a safe life."
Hearing this, Yun Xiu almost did not hesitate and immediately refused: "The princess's great kindness can no longer be repaid. How can we, my brothers and sisters, be treated like this by the princess again -"
Feeling that the person in front of him wanted to refuse, Li Sui suddenly let go of his hand. When Yun Xiu was surprised, the girl's voice fell firmly in her ears.
"You deserve it."
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Sui in front of him slowly took two steps back. When Nian Nu didn't respond, he suddenly stretched out his hands in front of him. Every move he made was dignified and respectful. He actually carried the solemnity that made her wince, and then
The young girl bowed deeply and said, "Li Sui, sir, please save someone's life."
After finishing his words, Nian Nu beside Li Sui quickly bowed respectfully.
at this moment,
The bright moon outside the window is still bright,
The candlelight in the house flickered slightly,
It was so quiet that I could only hear the wind outside the window and the lazy chirping of insects.
Facing the scene in front of her, Yunxiu could not help but be stunned for a long time.
Many years later, this moment still stuck in Yun Xiu's mind. She didn't know why, even though it was just her first meeting, she could be moved by it.
After a long time passed, it seemed that she suddenly understood.
Perhaps, it’s because of that confident word “Sir”.
Or perhaps, it was after being coldly looked down upon and insulted by the world, and experiencing the most despairing experience.
Suddenly, such a beautiful person came and gave her the respect and trust she had never had before.
A scholar dies for his confidant, maybe that's it.
…
In this compartment, a woman hurriedly walked towards Langao Courtyard. She had just arrived at the verandah of the small courtyard where Yang Yan usually rested, and Chang Sui Xigu, who was personally serving Yang Yan, hurriedly greeted her.
"It's all our fault that we didn't take good care of my husband, which delayed my sister from going back to visit relatives today."
When he walked under the lamp, Xi Gu could see that Jiu Ge must have rushed back in a hurry. She saw that she usually paid the most attention to her appearance, but today she ran away. Half of her hairpin fell slightly, and her hair on her temples was not as neat as before.
.
"It doesn't matter, how is Lang Jun doing now?"
Hearing Jiu Ge's most worrying question, Xi Gu suddenly became sad and said sadly: "I think when I sent someone to invite my sister just now, the person who went there told you that after returning from the Juju venue today, Lang
You locked yourself in the room and refused to let in even a grain of rice. Instead, you ordered us to give him a lot of wine. We finally went in to comfort him, but it was of no avail, so we can only invite you, sister."
Speaking of this, Xi Gu seemed to place all his hopes on Jiu Ge and said: "You know, it's okay for us to be scolded, but if we let the Taiwei know how we are like this tonight, I'm afraid Lang Jun will get another blow."
We really can’t bear this extra warning——”
"First send someone to heat up the hangover soup, and then ask the small kitchen in the courtyard to cook some appetizing snacks."
After that, Jiu Ge quickly tidied up her appearance, then carefully opened the door and walked in. When the door was closed again, Jiu Ge could almost feel the intoxicating smell of alcohol coming from the brightly lit back room. When she walked to the bamboo curtain of Concubine Xiang
, through the gap, you can see the man who used to be as gentle as jade, with a warm smile, sitting slumped on the steps of the side door, facing the bright moonlight, holding a wine bottle alone and drinking desperately.
It seems like this can dilute the depression and pain accumulated in the heart.
"Mr. Lang——"
Jiuge suppressed the heartache and sadness in his heart, tried to raise a somewhat comforting smile, and tried to make a sound.
When the words fell, the back figure was slightly startled. The next moment, Yang Yan turned her head sideways, and when she saw herself, her eyes instantly turned gentle, wrapping her up silently.
"Aman——"
Jiu Ge's back stiffened when he heard this, and he felt an indescribable emotion stuck in his chest. He was so stuffy that he couldn't swallow even a cent.
"Aman, you're here -"
Yang Yan's eyes were slightly drunk, and he stood up with shaky steps and hastily. He took a few steps forward and hugged Jiu Ge tightly into his arms. He tightly wrapped his hands around her shoulders, as happy as the one who shot a pair of wild geese in the past.
, the young man who was pleased and appreciated by the Taiwei.
"You finally came to me, you know, I don't want to argue with you today, I just-"
Seeing the man in front of him explaining anxiously, Jiu Ge felt like he was about to shed tears, but what turned into his lips were the gentle words of comfort: "I know, I know everything."
Hearing these words, Yang Yan seemed to see the long-lost hope, his eyes could not help but turn red, and he locked the person in his arms tightly, and the words were wrapped in the lingering breath of Pu Tao wine and breathed into Jiu Ge's ears.
"Aman, I was wrong——"
"Whether you hit me or scold me, don't look at me like a stranger like you do today, okay? I like you, I really like you. From the moment I knew that Aniang wanted to marry you to me,
I have been happy for a long time, a long time. I know that you are so dazzling that you should have deserved a better man, but I can't help my selfishness. I want to keep you and stay with me for the rest of my life. In the past, my identity as the eldest son of the Yang family has changed.
I am a shackle, a shackle, but when this status allows me to keep you, you know, for the first time, I feel lucky for this status. Fortunately, it is me, not the eldest brother, nor the third brother, but the only one.
I--"
When he heard Yang Yan's almost humble apology and said all the true words that she had seen but had never heard before, Jiu Ge was like a paper man with his soul taken out. At this moment, Pu Tao
The unique sour and sweet taste of the wine, entwined with the unusually fragrant incense in the room, enveloped her tightly, making her feel suffocated and unable to breathe.
"Lang Jun, I am Jiu Ge——"
Feeling that the person hugging him was slightly stunned, Jiu Ge smiled bitterly, tightened his hands, tried hard to restrain the movement of hugging the person in front of him, and gently pushed him away, forcing a smile and saying: "Slave, I'll go and invite you now.
The princess is here—"
After that, Jiu Ge bowed and was about to turn around and leave, but was suddenly surrounded tightly by the people behind him.
"No, don't go, please don't go -"
Hearing the man's panicked voice as if he was about to lose a treasure, Jiu Ge felt as if his heart was being crushed into ashes by someone's hands.
"I will marry you-"
When the man's unique breath touched her ears and cheeks ambiguously, Jiu Ge shuddered suddenly. The next moment, she was turned around, and she was caught off guard and bumped into the gentle jade eyes.
Love and enthusiasm were like a net that locked her tightly, making her fall into it and find it difficult to calm down.
"I will marry you, Aman, I will definitely marry you -"
