Shaojun riding the sea

On the writing paper, there are still five words that are so cold and hard-edged, vigorous and powerful, but a group of tears swam away, expressing the deepest obsession of Goddess Qingli before she died.

Shi Zhongqing stood under the fireworks, lowered his head and stared at the five words on the note for a long time. Perhaps the weight on it was too heavy. It was so heavy that his palms seemed to be hot. He didn't know how long he had been looking at it. With a sigh, a nameless sadness meandered in the wind. The five words written on the note were -

Reunion with deceased husband.

Bury me in a Taoist temple, sleep in the same heaven and earth, and be with my late husband.

This was the complete last wish of the goddess Fuying. She combed her hair and lips for the last time, smiled peacefully, and finally went to Lingtai Mountain to find her A Chou.

"What's supposed to come will come. How long can we hide it?"

Shi Zhongqing murmured to himself, gently closed the note, and put it into the azure sachet. After doing all this, he looked up into the void again, and the elegant and elegant figure seemed to faintly emerge again. Coming out, he asked softly to his old friend:

"Tell me, should I let that child know...the truth?"

After the last fireworks in the sky were completely extinguished, a figure quietly entered the new house. Shi Xuanling was sitting in front of the window with his chin propped up, looking at the fireworks dissipating in the sky, feeling inexplicably sad.

Zhong Lisheng has left, and the wedding ceremony is about to begin. It was a time that Shi Zhongqing specially found someone to predict. He only waited for the ancient clock to hit twelve times before Grandma Xi entered the new house, helped the bride out, and came to In the decorated hall, the groom waiting there worships heaven and earth and unites.

Because Shi Xuanling got married in her own home, the wedding ceremony was held in Shi's Mansion. Unlike other brides who married into their husband's family, her ceremony was "unique" in many aspects, but her mother-in-law was not alive, so Shi Zhongqing took care of everything for her inside and out. She could just sit quietly in her new house and wait with peace of mind to get married to Yue Wujiu.

Due to the special ritual rules, there was no one in the courtyard at this moment, and all the servants had evacuated. Only Shi Xuanling was left waiting in the new house, waiting for the sound of the twelve ancient bells to be heard outside.

But just before the wedding ceremony was about to begin, an uninvited guest appeared in the new house.

When Shi Xuanling heard the commotion, she thought there was some change in the ceremony. The time was temporarily changed, and Granny Xi came to welcome her out in advance. She suddenly turned her head in front of the window, but she didn't expect that what she met was a pair of eyes with a faint sneer. In the white mist, a beautiful and proud peacock suddenly appeared on the man's shoulder.

"Why, are you surprised to see me, third sister?"

Shi Xuanqin approached her step by step, with a smile on his lips, but his eyes were like cold snow.

"Third sister, you are getting married today. Young Master Zhongli has given you 36 hairpin gifts, and dad has given you a fireworks display. It is so glorious that you are getting married, so how can you miss the second sister's share? , I also have something to give you, do you want to know what it is?"

Shi Xuanling sat in front of the window, saying nothing, just looking at Shi Xuanqin quietly, and suddenly said out of nowhere: "The peacock is obviously crying, and every feather has turned gray. Why do you, second sister, have to force yourself to smile?"

Yes, the beautiful peacock on Shi Xuanqin's shoulder, although it poses a proud posture, its beautiful eyes are clearly filled with tears, and every feather of it is dyed with deep sorrow. The color of gray defeat.

Suddenly someone saw through the pain in her heart. Shi Xuanqin's breathing was trembling, and the forced disguise on her face could no longer be maintained. She suddenly pointed at the bright wedding dress and said bitterly to the girl under the window:

"What are you talking about again? Who is crying and who is forcing a smile?"

She knew that Shi Xuanling had been in love since she was a child and said things that others couldn't understand. She used to sneer at this, but today she was deeply hurt by her understatement, because she really revealed the truth. Her mask revealed the truest emotions in her heart.

She hated this feeling, hated being seen through, and hated even more the fact that the "third sister" she hated the most was judging her in front of her like a winner.

"Shi Xuanling, why do you look at me like this? Do you think you won? Are you very proud of taking away my Ayue?"

"No." The wedding dress was like fire under the window, but the girl's brown eyes were as cold as ice. She said calmly:

"Ah Yue is not an object. There is no one who can snatch him away. He has flesh and blood and emotions. He is a living person. Every path he steps on is his own choice. No one can force him, including him today... Marry me." "That's enough, you just deceived his sincerity!" Shi Xuanqin pointed at the wedding dress and gritted his teeth even more: "You didn't like him in the first place, but you were initially willing to accept the imperial edict and replace him. My position, I was exiled to Nayunzhou Island together with A Yue, just because you wanted to escape from the Shi family and get freedom, so you used him to make the Qingyun Ladder. You said this to me personally, wasn't it? ?"

The tearful peacock exuded strong unwillingness and hatred, but the brown eyes under the window were calm, only looking at her and saying lightly:

"Second sister, things in the world are never static. Time has changed, people will change, and hearts will change. I didn't know about love in the past, but now, I really want to be Ayue's wife."

"Sincerity, are you worthy of talking about sincerity?"

"Second sister should say this to herself. After all, in that hazy spring rain, the person who resolutely regretted the marriage, added insult to injury, and cruelly abandoned my childhood sweetheart, was not me."

"You, you shut up!"

Shi Xuanqin was suddenly poked in a painful spot, her face suddenly changed, and her chest was heaving violently. Her eyes were like sharp knives gouging towards Shi Xuanling. She stared at her for who knows how long. In the lingering white mist, the peacock suddenly looked strange. laughed:

"It seems, Shi Xuanling, you are not planning to return Ayue to me, are you?"

Qimeng's wedding dress shines with a moving luster, like a sparkling sea, and above the blue sea, the bride with picturesque features shakes her head, her face still calm and calm:

"Second sister, you are wrong again. Ah Yue is not yours in the first place, so how can you use the word 'return'? After he gets married to me today, he will be my husband in this life. No matter how much others miss him, he will eventually It’s futile and vain. If you, second sister, let go of your obsession as soon as possible, the road ahead will be long and there will be infinite scenery waiting for you. Move forward and don’t look back.”

Shi Xuanling's tone was as calm as water, but every word hit Shi Xuanqin's heart hard. She stared at her brown eyes, and the smile on her lips became more and more weird:
"Third sister, it's the second sister who underestimated you. We haven't seen you for a long time, but you have indeed... grown up."

She is no longer the little girl who used to follow her when she first arrived at the Shi Mansion, always handing her sweets to please, and she is no longer the dim, gray shadow locked in the attic, unnoticed. Today, Shi Xuanling, after experiencing an exile, not only did not show the miserable state after being tortured, but actually reborn, just like the daytime fireworks set off in the mansion today, blooming with a shining light of his own.

Compared to Shi Xuanqin's resentment, the wedding dress under the window remained motionless, and his pair of brown eyes became calmer and calmer, like the clear gurgling spring water in the mountains, as if they could soak people in with just one glance.

"It's not that I grew up, but that I figured out something on the island. My mother-in-law taught me that all things have animism since I was a child, and that I need to have good intentions and stand calmly in the world, but she never taught me how to repay evil with kindness. Repay kindness? Kindness should be released to those who deserve it, rather than blindly repaying kindness to those who hurt yourself."

There were some words that Shi Xuanling originally kept in her heart and didn't want to say out loud, but since her nominal "second sister" could do things like break into her new house, question her aggressively, and ask her for her husband in person, She has nothing to worry about her old relationship.

There was no old relationship in the first place, and the only connection between her and the Shi family was her father.

The so-called "sisterly love" is more like a joke. It's better to explain it clearly here today.

"When I was nine years old, I gave my second sister a lot of nectar candies made by myself, but you hated it and never accepted one. You even told the brothers and sisters in the clan to ignore me, and in front of them You called me a 'little witch' and worked with them to isolate me. Later, I was imprisoned in the attic by my father, and you always played tricks on my food and clothing. You even sneaked into the attic in the middle of the night and took the food that my father had made for me. A rabbit lantern was cut into pieces. I was just pretending to be asleep at the time, and I didn’t expose you..."

The girl's voice was light and soft, and when she talked about the old memories of being bullied, she didn't have any emotional fluctuations. On the contrary, when hearing these words in Shi Xuanqin's ears, it was like a heavy hammer blow, knocking her last picture away. The mask of respectability and hypocrisy was shattered.

She turned pale for a moment: "So, it turns out you know it, then why don't you..."

"Yes, I know all about it. I know almost all the bad things you did overtly and covertly in those years, but I didn't tell my father. Since I don't like your little tricks, you can't really hurt me. Me, putting medicine in my food box is even more ridiculous. How could the medical skills I learned since childhood be in vain? The second thing is——"

"Perhaps I am too lonely alone in Shi Mansion. Those days and nights I was trapped in the attic, my life was like a pool of stagnant water. I would rather have someone come and stir things up, even if it means causing harm, than leaving me alone. A walking corpse sinks to the bottom of the pool.”

Shi Xuanling looked straight at the pale Shi Xuanqin, smiled suddenly under the window, and said with deep meaning:
"What's more, the smart bad peacock also had his cute moments. One year, I was sitting on the railing of the attic, reading medical books. I had no shoes on my feet, and my hair and skirt were messy and flying in the wind. You looked at me from below. As we passed by, you scolded me for being unruly and disrespectful, and bringing shame on the Shi family. I didn't care and continued to go my own way. You then angrily went up to the attic and said you wanted to take me to my father to receive my punishment. Feeling that you were too verbose, I made a face at you and was about to jump off the railing. However, my feet slipped and my body became unstable. I grabbed the medical book and fell straight back. I still remember you now. You screamed, and what did you do next, do you remember?"
