Heroes of the Fantasy World

Chapter 238 Sword Qi and Xiao Xin
(25)

In the Yumantang Tavern in Cangzhou City, it is still singing and dancing to promote peace, pushing cups and changing glasses, pretending to be a peaceful and prosperous age.Singers and dancers repeatedly presented obscene lyrics and dances, all in order to compete for which official or wealthy businessman's mistress to become.

Year after year, day after day.No matter how many springs have passed and autumn has come, these despicable transactions are always not uncommon.There are very few people who can really stick to their own way and want to live in this world based on their talents and learning, so that they can work hard to study their careers.

This is an era in which everything can be abandoned for the sake of money, power, prosperity and wealth, and speculators are everywhere.Years of wars and a materialistic society have shattered their self-esteem and emptied their souls.However, there are always some people who spend their whole lives seeking ways to get out of the darkness. Although most of them do not have a satisfactory ending, almost none of them have regretted it.

Mrs. Xiang, perhaps she should be called Xiang Chuchu——this name is unknown to the world, she is such a person.

Mrs. Xiang's body is now close to exhaustion, and she is almost in bed waiting to die. For several days, she has been awakened by nightmares every night. Until the next day when she really woke up, she would go back to the piano that had been placed beside her all the time.

She played the piano, played music, and hummed "Tears of the King of Xiang".

The little maid, Zichai, asked her from time to time: "Whom do you put your love on? Is it Mr. Su?"

Xiang Chuchu replied, "It's Lord Xiang."

The little maid, Zichai, asked her again from time to time: "Send love to Mr. Xiang, is it Miss who misses the past?"

After Xiang Chuchu heard this, she suddenly became dazed, her hand playing the qin stopped, then she stared at the strings, and murmured: "Young master Su is back?"

Zichai shook her head, and Mrs. Xiang continued to play the song sadly.

Obviously, Su Qing's safety is not the only thing that bothers Xiang Chuchu.She has never forgotten her origin, and she has never forgotten that she had a happy family. It can even be said with certainty that she can go back to the past just by playing the piano.

After the qin music is played, Xiang Chuchu will say to Zichai: "Mr. Xiang said on his deathbed that he was sorry for me and failed to leave anything before he died. But I think he left the most precious things. It's the song." After saying this, she went back to the bed to rest.

At first, Zichai couldn't understand what Xiang Chuchu said at all, but as time passed and she heard a lot, she began to learn to empathize with her.

As a dowry slave, Zichai didn't have much affection for Mr. Xiang, but in the past, Mr. Xiang and Xiang Chuchu flew side by side, and she saw it when the qin and se played in harmony.Even though she has never been deeply in love and has always been servile, it is still difficult to restrain her yearning for a better life.

Since Xiang Chuchu misses the past so much, it just shows that she hates everything now.

Finally one day, Zichai finally asked Xiang Chuchu a question that had been hidden in her heart for a long time. She said: "Miss, since you hate Mr. Su so much, why do you insist on marrying him?"

"That's right, Mr. Su is young and established, but he is still a naughty boy. Today he comes in through the window in style, but tomorrow he will suddenly disappear at an unknown time. I don't know how many lovers he has failed."

After Zichai heard about it, she couldn't help nodding her head again and again, and when she was about to say something to agree with this point of view, Xiang Chuchu immediately added: "However, I can be regarded as a person who has seen him improve step by step with my own eyes. , to save up money to get a home. Maybe he will always be a 'urchin', but he is still a good man who has changed his ways."

"It's hard for me to resent him now, but I don't want to forgive him so easily."

After Xiang Chuchu told her inner truth, she smiled brightly.

Only three days after this private conversation, the news of Su Qing's return finally came to Yu Mantang.

It was rumored that the young servant galloped from the city gate to Yumantang like crazy, and ran straight to Mei Lin who was guarding the tavern to report. After the little maid Zichai knew the news, she immediately went to tell her bedridden lady.

How did you know that Xiang Chuchu was extremely depressed today, knowing that Su Qing was about to come back, she didn't react with much surprise, she just gently called Zichai to come to her, put on clothes for her, and helped her to sit in front of the piano, Then he said to Zichai, "Go and meet Mr. Su."

After a while, Zichai brought Tao Wuyong back from the outside, and complained to Xiang Chuchu: "Miss, Mr. Su, he was summoned by Mr. Mei Xianggong, so he can't come to see you."

"Bah! That kid is timid, afraid that others will catch him!" Tao Wuyong responded, "Mrs. Xiang, let this old man take a look at your pulse first?"

Mrs. Xiang sat where she was, her fingers were still on the strings, she nodded her head slightly, and said to Tao Wuyong, "Father Tao, the little girl has already married Mr. Su, so it stands to reason that you shouldn't call me by the old address anymore. .”

"A little thief like Su Qing, he is not worthy of you!" Tao Wuyong looked very domineering, smoothed his beard with his hands, and scolded: "According to what the old man said, Mrs. Xiang should leave him as soon as possible , look at what kind of people he has offended now!"

"Daddy Tao, don't get so angry, don't you want to check your pulse?" Xiang Chuchu rolled up his sleeves and stretched out his hand.

"This pulse...the right inch is slightly slippery, the lungs are the residence of qi, and the slippery is a symptom of phlegm...Compared with the past, it seems that there is no improvement?" Tao Wuyong was shocked, stood up instantly, and pointed to Xiang Chuchu asked: "You told me honestly, did you take the medicine given to you?"

"No."

"You...you don't want to live anymore?" The old man who was over five years old stomped his feet angrily, and then grabbed the little maid Zichai beside him and asked forcefully: "Why don't you urge your lady to take good care of her body? "

"I... I don't know, I don't know, Mr. Tao!" Zichai was so frightened that she cried, looked at her own lady in confusion, and then at Tao Wuyong, and said, "Your maidservant, I have always sent you off on time." medicine!"

"It's me, I poured out all the medicine." Xiang Chuchu said: "I know that my illness will never get better."

After Tao Wuyong listened, he stood in the same place in a daze, sneered a few times, and then staggered a few steps behind him, looking unbelievable.His lips trembled, and the rapid breath from his nose blew the beard around his mouth into a fierce wind, and then he said a few words from his mouth in a daze: "You...you people, none of you want to live anymore. Hehe , Ridiculous, ridiculous I was still thinking about how to save you! Hahaha..."

After all, he shrugged his shoulders and was about to withdraw from his battlefield in frustration.But Xiangchuchu confided to him before leaving: "Papa Tao, please call my husband-in-law, and you just say, his wife, time is numbered."
