Fengluo listens to the sound of snow

Qin Shuang was quite helpless, so she could only support her with one hand and pat her shoulder with the other to comfort her.

Hey, what's the matter? This is, at this moment, Shigu is not like an elder at all, but like a sad child.

After a while, Li Muxue stopped crying, let go of Qin Shuang, and smiled instead: "Do you still think I'm beautiful? Do you think I'm embarrassed?"

"No," Qin Shuang replied, "The first time I saw you, you were a smiling beauty. Looking at you now, you are a crying beauty. You have always been beautiful."

Li Muxue laughed again when she told her: "Shuang'er, you are really likable."

Qin Shuang smiled slightly.

"Shuang'er, you are so likable, I want to tell you a story. Are you interested in hearing it?"

"Master Aunt told me stories, of course I'm interested." Qin Shuang said.

Ya, are you finally going to say it?

Li Muxue walked to the chair in the hall, sat down by herself, and waved to Qin Shuang, implying that she would sit down too.

Qin Shuang walked over and sat down with her.

"A long time ago," Li Muxue began, "in a beautiful villa, there lived the owner, the owner's daughter, and three apprentices of the owner. Among them, the owner's daughter was the youngest, and the three senior brothers Let her. If there is anything delicious and fun, she is always the first to think of her. This girl lost her mother since she was a child, and is the only daughter of the owner, so she is also loved by the owner. But unconsciously, the girl Gradually become domineering, selfish and savage."

Qin Shuang was startled: this girl could be the aunt, right?Domineering?Selfish and unruly?Not at all.

But she didn't speak, ready to continue listening to the story.

"Shuang'er," Li Muxue asked suddenly, "You also have an older brother, how does he treat you?"

"Very good," Qin Shuang replied, "Just keep me in check."

"Heh," Li Muxue chuckled, "but those three senior brothers didn't dare to take care of their junior sister. Because they all felt that they had no father or mother, and they were taken in by their master, so they had to treat their junior sister well. So, since childhood, When they grow up, they are very accommodating to their junior sisters. Even if their junior sisters have taken a fancy to their most beloved things, they will give them to their junior sisters."

"Then what happened next?" Qin Shuang asked.

"Later, their relationship was very good. They ate together, practiced swords together, discussed the things taught by the master together, were naughty together, lazy together, went to catch fish in the creek next to the spring in the back mountain, and played in the stream together on rainy days. The frog next to the village. Before and after the village, there are three kinds of peach blossoms. Every year when the peach blossoms are in full bloom, the junior sisters always want to see the appearance of the peach blossoms falling to the ground. At this time, the three senior brothers will use their strengths to shake the peach blossoms down. Or shuttle between the peach blossoms and practice swords, in short, she can see the peach blossoms fall to the ground early every year."

Li Muxue recalled, with a happy smile on her face, as if she had returned to that carefree time.

"Well, growing up together like this is really a blessing." Qin Shuang sighed.

"But the happy time will always pass," Li Muxue put a smile on her face, "They are growing up slowly."

"What about when you grow up?" Qin Shuang asked.

"When they grow up, they each have their own thoughts," Li Muxue said, "The junior sister gradually fell in love with the senior brother. The owner saw his daughter's thoughts, so he called the senior apprentice over and secretly asked him if he would like it."

"Then is he willing?" Qin Shuang asked.But when she said that, she was worried for a while: Shigu's elder brother should be daddy, right?

"He agreed," Li Muxue replied, "At that time, he felt that he was raised by Master, and it was good for Master to decide the matters of marriage. So he made a marriage contract with Junior Sister."

Qin Shuang thought to himself: Did father and aunt ever have a marriage contract?No wonder she didn't like her mother very much.

"Then what?" she asked.

"Then, the junior sister was naturally full of joy. From then on, she always pestered the senior brother. Wherever he went, she wanted to follow him. But things always turn around, and the senior brother gradually got tired of it."

"So, later on, the elder brother proposed to dissolve the engagement?"

Li Muxue shook his head, "Even though he was bored in his heart, he tried his best to accommodate and did not propose to terminate the engagement. After a year like this, the eldest brother went out to perform a mission, and went to pay his respects to a friend in the north on behalf of the master. That's how he got to know the friend of the master daughter."

"So it was because of that woman that he broke off the engagement with his junior sister?" Qin Shuang asked.

"Actually, at the beginning, he didn't know that he fell in love with that woman. But the junior sister found that since returning from birthday greetings, his heart was no longer in the villa. Although the junior sister was annoyed, she also wanted to hope that the senior brother would change his mind. Later, that The woman came to the villa and was seriously injured on the way, and he realized how important that woman is to him." Li Muxue said.

"Why did that woman come to the villa? But what promise did he make?" Qin Shuang asked.

At this moment, she didn't notice that "that woman" was her mother.

"No. He didn't promise her anything, he just said that he wanted to make friends. The woman came to the south on business, was injured on the way, and happened to be very close to the villa, so she came over."

Recalling the scene at that time, Li Muxue couldn't help but smile wryly, some things were really predestined.

"So? Just break off the engagement?"

"He went to a very dangerous place to collect medicine for that woman, and he was injured when he came back. The junior sister was furious, but there was nothing he could do. The other two senior brothers were trying to persuade the junior sister not to be angry, saying that these were just Jianghu morality. Jianghu morality, Does it feel familiar?"

Li Muxue asked Qin Shuang with a smile.

Qin Shuang shuddered, "Ah, Auntie, I actually..."

"You don't need to talk, and you don't need to explain." Li Muxue interrupted her, and continued, "The junior sister is also willing to believe that she is really righteous, but she is just lying to herself. When the girl's injury is healed, the senior brother I ran to the master, knelt down and confessed my mistake, saying that I was young and ignorant, and almost harmed my junior sister, and this engagement must be dissolved no matter what."

"Ah?! Then, that girl, what kind of feelings do you have for Senior Brother? Senior Senior Brother, because she is so impulsive, won't she come out and talk about it?"

"That girl naturally likes senior brother," Li Muxue chuckled, "She admitted it directly in the village."

"Ah?!" Qin Shuang didn't know what to say, was her mother so bold back then?He admitted it straight away, Dad was still engaged to him at the time...

"Later, the brothers and sisters got very upset," Li Muxue continued, "Junior sister has been spoiled since she was a child, and the harder it is to get, the more she wants to get it. For the senior brother, she is unwilling to let go no matter what. The owner Being made very helpless by my daughter, I asked the big apprentice secretly, if he married his junior sister, he could get the villa and become the next owner, would he be willing?"

"I think he must be unwilling." Qin Shuang said.

"Yes, he resolutely refused. He said that he entered into a marriage contract with his junior sister just because he was thinking of the kindness of Master's upbringing and teaching, and he didn't have any intention of coveting the villa. Now that he has his own heart, he can no longer Tolerate Junior Sister, even if Junior Sister forcibly marries him, she will not be happy."

"So, the engagement was finally broken?"

"Well," Li Muxue nodded, "The owner personally canceled the engagement, but for the sake of his daughter, the villa can no longer accommodate the eldest apprentice. The eldest apprentice thanked his master and took the girl away." At this point, she smiled wryly , "Although the owner has done a good thing, the daughter doesn't understand him, and she resents him for breaking the engagement and letting the senior brother go. That daughter is so stupid, she only thinks about how to keep the senior brother."

"Maybe, she's just used to getting everything she wants." Qin Shuang said.

"That's right. Since she was a child, as long as she wants, the owner will do her best to satisfy her, and the senior brothers are also like this to her. She never thought that one day what she wanted would be the result of not getting it in the end. What. At that time, she was really angry, sad, resentful, annoyed, in short, full of hopelessness and pain."

"Did she figure it out later? Did she get out of hopelessness and pain?" Qin Shuang asked.

Li Muxue shook her head, "No. She was too stubborn and couldn't figure it out. She hated her father like this for three years. In the past three years, the third senior brother also gradually stayed away from her and ignored her, but the second senior brother didn't. If it’s opened, he’ll go there and get it off for her. But she’s not in the mood to appreciate it anymore.”

"Then, it can't be like this all the time, can it?"

"It hasn't always been like this," Li Muxue said, "The owner of the villa is very disappointed with his daughter, but he also feels that it is his fault to raise his daughter like this. After three years, he really couldn't bear her daughter like this, so he left the villa and put the whole Zhuangzi left it to his daughter and has never been heard from since.”

"What? Isn't this dad too unreliable? Didn't he tell his daughter some reason to let her think about it as soon as possible? Just leave like this? Leave Zhuangzi to your daughter?"

Qin Shuang uttered a series of questions and bombarded Li Muxue one after another. She didn't notice at all that the "unreliable" father she said was her father's master, her ancestor.

Li Muxue smiled, "Yes, he may be an unreliable father, but you have to say, he is the best father."

"Why do you say that?"

"Because my daughter will grow up only if he leaves," Li Muxue replied, "Some people, as long as they have a little shelter, they will get into it. If you want her to grow up, you have to give her no shelter, no hope .”

"So, since the owner left, has she figured it out?"

Li Muxue shook her head, "I've let you down again. She has a second senior brother beside her."

"and after?"

"Later, she became the owner of the village here. Because of Master's departure, Third Senior Brother also bid farewell to her. She was very helpless, but she still agreed." Li Muxue said.

"Well," Qin Shuang smiled, "Actually, she is slowly letting go."

"It's a pity that she still didn't come out completely at that time," Li Muxue said, "That incident hit her too hard. In fact, at that time, she had no love for the senior brother in her heart, but people are so strange, even if they are I don't like it anymore, the obsession remains in my heart, and it becomes a thorn that I can't get out, always distressed and sad. She still has a second senior brother by her side, so she leaves all the affairs to him, and she just stays in the courtyard every day, drinking away her worries."

"Ah? From this point of view, that incident really hit her hard. But fortunately, there is a second senior brother to take care of her." Qin Shuang said.

"Indeed, the second senior brother was really kind to her. But at that time, she was only concerned about being sad, so why did she think so much? Later, the second senior brother saw that she didn't come out very often in the yard, so he took the initiative to talk to her and wanted to give her a heart-to-heart talk. Relieve boredom."

"Actually, this is pretty good. I think the second senior brother likes her." Qin Shuang said.

Li Muxue didn't answer, and continued, "It's a pity that things are always unexpected and people are caught off guard. That day, she took her senior brother to drink and complained to him while drinking. She drank a lot, and senior brother drank a lot, and then...then Something happened to them that shouldn't have happened."

"Ah?!" Qin Shuang covered her mouth in shock, what should I do?

"After waking up, she was devastated. She felt that she shouldn't live in this world, so she thought about how to seek death. But the senior brother begged hard, and he was the one who said the wrong thing. Even if he died, he should be the one. As long as she makes a move, he will never die." Don't fight back."

"Did the junior sister make a move?"

Li Muxue smiled and shook her head: "No. She can't do it. No matter what, she grew up with her. But she was really ashamed to live, so she jumped into the lake secretly. She thought no one knew, but He was rescued by his brother."

"Then, did she forgive senior brother after that?" Qin Shuang asked.

Li Muxue shook her head again, "She is very stubborn, how could she forgive? She couldn't find death, so she wanted to leave the villa, but was stopped by her senior brother. After many twists and turns, after a month, she found out that she was pregnant."

"Ah?! What, what should I do?" Qin Shuang was shocked again.

From this point of view, what Shigu is still pregnant with...Qi Chen?So, the second senior brother of my aunt is the owner of Qi Zhuang?

"At this time, the senior brother said that as long as she agrees, they can get married. He swore that he would treat her well for the rest of his life and never bully her."

"With her stamina, shouldn't she agree?" Qin Shuang guessed.

"That's right," Li Muxue nodded, "She didn't agree, and she drove the senior brother away. But the senior brother said that if he wanted to leave, he had to take the child away. How could she agree, and she wanted to drink medicine to kill the child immediately, but the senior brother stopped him?" So, begging her not to kill the child, he will block the news of her pregnancy, as long as she can give birth to the child, he will leave with the child, never come back, never trouble her..."

"So, she agreed?"

"No, she didn't agree, and she was still thinking about how to abort the child. Later, she secretly asked a doctor who didn't know her to prescribe medicine, and the doctor cut her pulse. The doctor said that she had a special constitution and was not easy to conceive. It's a miracle, if this child is aborted, I'm afraid I won't have another child for the rest of my life..." Li Muxue repeated what the doctor said back then, everything seemed like a lifetime away.

"Because of this, she kept that little life?" Qin Shuang smiled.

"That's right, because of the doctor's words, she kept the child. Her senior brother indeed blocked the news, and only four people in the entire villa knew about it. Except for the two of them, one is a personal maid and the other is a stable Afterwards, when the child was born, he hugged the child and left. Before leaving, he said that he would wait for her, even if she would never change her mind, he was willing to wait." Li Muxue said, tears fell .

"Senior Aunt... That junior sister is you, and that child is Brother Qi, right?"

"Yes," Li Muxue nodded, "I still don't want to recognize him."

"Auntie, I have heard your story, and I dare to ask you, have you ever had a second uncle in your heart?"

This question is the key to whether she will go home with Qi Chen, she must ask.

Li Muxue smiled sadly, and then cried, "Shuang'er, is it strange for you to say that I...for so many years, I have always felt that I hate him, I have never wanted to see Chen'er, and I have been trying my best to forget about that matter But, but, when I found out that something happened to him... I... Shuang'er, I didn't expect that the farewell 20 years ago would be a lifetime! It's because I'm too willful..."

"Auntie," Qin Shuang patted her shoulder, "Things are unpredictable, Auntie, you have to mourn. But if you had known this earlier, you wouldn't have made such a choice."

"I knew that..." Li Muxue sighed in a low voice, "But God didn't give me time. No, he gave me 20 years, unfortunately I wasted all of it..."

"Auntie, sometimes people's thoughts have to be delayed for a long time. Just like my father, he didn't think he liked my mother. He didn't realize it until my mother was injured, didn't he? , It’s the same. However, it’s a pity that the sky is not beautiful. Auntie, now that something like this has happened, I think it is necessary to go to Qijiazhuang to take a look. Even if it is to express condolences, it should be.” Qin Shuang explain.

"Shuang'er," Li Muxue came back to her senses, "You said, we should go to offer our condolences?"

"That's right. No matter how you say it, Shigu, you are also the junior sister of the second martial uncle, and I can also be regarded as the senior niece. No matter how you say it, you have to go to Qijiazhuang to have a look."

"But...I..." Li Muxue frowned.

"Oh, but what is it, Auntie, didn't you say that you would help Big Brother Qi? Even if it's for Big Brother Qi, you should go there tomorrow."

Li Muxue remained silent.

After a while, he said, "But what capacity should I go with?"

"Naturally, it's my identity as a junior sister," Qin Shuang said, "Auntie, although no one in the world knows that you are brother Qi's biological mother, but tomorrow, you can recognize him as your godson, so that he can treat his wife in an open and honest manner." Calling you mother! If you are reluctant to part with Brother Qi, you can follow him and stay in Qijiazhuang."

"Can this be done?" Li Muxue's eyes were already red and swollen.

"Of course, Auntie," Qin Shuang said, "I think this is also Big Brother Qi's wish."

"Shuang'er," Li Muxue looked at her suddenly, "Actually, you know that your big brother Qi's wish is on you."

"Ah?!" Qin Shuang scratched his head, and then said, "Well, it's getting late, Auntie, I should leave too. Anyway, tomorrow, tomorrow morning, we will rush to Qijiazhuang, and we can meet Brother Qi is here."

After speaking, she bowed to her aunt and stepped back.

On the way back, Qin Shuang thought to herself, if Auntie arrived at Qijiazhuang and saw that the owner of Qizhuang was alive and well, what would she look like?

The author has something to say: They ate together, practiced sword together, discussed what the master taught together, were mischievous and lazy together, went to catch fish in the creek next to the back mountain spring together, and played with frogs by the stream on rainy days.

Were there any playmates you grew up with and then separated?

The obsession remains in my heart and becomes a thorn that is difficult to remove, always distressed and sad.

Does Li Muxue like Qin Muming more, or is she not willing to be more?
