Chapter 200 Away
In a quiet room with a big corner view, Yin Defei was dressed in a black-and-white plaid plain Taoist robe, her hair was simply tied with a wooden band, holding a scripture in her left hand, and stroking a dark hair in her right hand.
Princess Gaoyang put her head on her mother's lap and muttered, "Mom, Mu Bai is leaving..."
Yin Defei smiled slightly, stroked Princess Gaoyang's head, and said, "My mother knows that you have said it many times.
"I can't bear to part with him..." Princess Gaoyang curled her lips and murmured sadly.
Yin Defei just smiled and didn't say anything.
"Mom, why don't you talk?"
"Actually, missing is not a kind of happiness." Yin Defei finally spoke and said softly, "My mother also came from your age. When I was young, I liked everything I liked firmly in the palm of my hand, and I didn't want to relax for a moment. After living for a long time, you will gradually understand that there are many things in the world, such as autumn wind and leaves, sand between your fingers. You can't keep it if you want to stay, but you can catch it firmly if you want to. It's better to miss each other than to meet.
"It's better to miss each other than to meet..." Princess Gaoyang read in a low voice and said, "Mom, have you ever missed someone? That is... close your eyes, and your mind is full of his kind, nostalgia?"
The concubine's expression was slightly stagnant, and she smiled lightly and didn't say anything.
"In fact, I haven't figured out a question over the years... but I dare not ask you." Princess Gaoyang said.
"So it seems that you want to ask today?" Yin Defei smiled kindly, "Ask, Linger. You have grown up and are sensible. The question you want to ask must make sense.
"Then I really asked?" Princess Gaoyang sat up straight, looked at Yin Defei seriously, and whispered, "Mom, I want to ask... How have you been getting along with your father for so many years? He is... the one who killed my grandfather's family!"
There was a flash of fright in Yin Defei's eyes, and her eyelids also jumped, but she immediately calmed down.
Capturing this look of fear suddenly revealed by her mother, Princess Gaoyang hurriedly reached out and covered her mouth and exclaimed, "Mom, am I stupid to ask? Then you think I didn't say it!"
"You're right." Yin Defei took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, closed her eyes, and said leisurely, "Do you... really want to know?"
"Think!"
"It's actually very simple." Yin Defei's voice was very calm, as if she was talking about something that had nothing to do with her. She said lightly, "The more I hate him, the harder I will love him."
"What?" Princess Gaoyang shouted in a short time.
"Yes." Yin Defei still said faintly, "Use love to resolve the hatred in my heart and his hatred against our Yin family. Unreserved, as always, no regrets, love him deeply.
"Mother..." Princess Gaoyang's eyes widened in consterren, couldn't help swallowing a mouthful of saliva, and muttered, "How did you do it? If it were me... it's impossible!"
The corners of Yin Defei's extremely beautiful arc gently raised a slight arc, smiled faintly and said, "There is nothing in this world that people can't do. When a person is desperate and has no choice, he can do anything.
"But, but! ..." Princess Gaoyang argued a few times, paused hesitantly, gritted her teeth and said, "If it were me, even if I couldn't take revenge, I would definitely die!"
"No way." Yin Defei's voice suddenly became a little cold, and she said quietly, "It's not enough to die at all. When you find that if you look for death, you will kill your brother's whole family; when you find that if you look for death, the innocent child in your womb will also die together..."
Speaking of this, Yin Defei's voice became a little trembling and she said word by word, "You won't make such a choice!"
"I, I..." Princess Gaoyang's face suddenly turned a little pale. She stared at her mother with wide eyes and said, "I don't know what would happen to me, but... at least I will always hate him! It's absolutely impossible to love him the other way around!"
"When you live to the age of being a mother, you will understand." Yin Defei slowly closed her eyes and said leisurely, "It's actually easy to die. The difficult thing is that life is not as good as death. Linger, when I was pregnant with your brother for my mother, I sought to die thirteen times. Because I don't want him to be born in this world, with shame, hatred and blood. I don't want my son to be an enemy of his father all his life. But then I figured out that the child is innocent, and I want to live for him. For him, I must love your father. For him, I must resolve the feud between the Liyin families... Therefore, there is one more imperial concubine of the Zhenguan Dynasty in the world, and then there has been one less woman from the Yin family.
"Mom, how did you survive these years! ..." Princess Gaoyang suddenly had a sore nose, and tears fell down. "I used to be too ignorant, and I was always naughty to make you angry. It turns out that you have always been living for us!"
"It's a kind of happiness to live for others." Yin Defei smiled sadly and said calmly, "Forget all my desires, hatred, love and paranoia. I have been living for so many years, all for you, your brother, and your uncle's family. In addition, I will love your father without reservation or regret. Only by truly loving him can he forget that you also have a trace of Yin's blood, and forget that period of national hatred..."
"Mom, you're too hard. It's not easy... Whoo-hoo!" Princess Gaoyang rushed into the arms of Yin Defei and cried emotionally. "Over the years, haven't you had your own preferences and pursuits? Live completely for us!"
"Preferences? Pursuit?" Yin Defei smiled faintly, stroked Princess Gaoyang's cloud-like hair, and whispered, "Whenever I have such a thought, I will decisively kill it. Because I don't deserve these things.
Princess Gaoyang's delicate body suddenly shook slightly: "Mom! Did you suddenly escape into the empty door to kill something?
"No!" Yin Defei denied it very decisively and resolutely, and said in a stern voice, "Why do you think so?"
"Mother, you're angry..." Princess Gaoyang raised her head and looked at Yin Defei in a blank way. "You're so weird today!"
"Nothing. It was you who insisted on asking these questions, which disturbed my mother's mood. Yin Defei took a deep breath and closed her eyes again. "Okay, you go. You're going to calm down."
"Oh..." Princess Gaoyang nodded confusedly and had to withdraw slowly.
Slowly opened his eyes and slowly glanced at the green lamp in front of him. The ancient case, the scriptures, Yin Defei smiled slightly self-deprecating and a little sadly: "Preference? Pursuit? ...Linger, these only belong to you. Only you deserve to have... Cherish it, my child!"
Closing the charming eyes, Yin Defei began to meditate.
Half an hour later, a melodious pipa sound suddenly sounded in the courtyard outside the room, accompanied by a crisp slap: "That's great, Mu Bai! Why do you play this tune so beautifully today? It seems to be much better than in the past!"
"Do you have it?" Qin Mubai's voice came.
The five fingers of Yin Defei's jade hand trembled, and inadvertently dropped an ancient book in her hand.
"There is a lingering sadness in the song. Don't you hear it, Linger?" Yin Defei muttered to herself, "It turns out that he can't bear to leave... Silly girl, you should taste his thoughts with a little. A man is like a book. You need to read it carefully to understand it. Although your Mu Bai is young, it is like the scriptures in this ancient case, which is far-reaching and meaningful, not the kind of simple little man that makes people see at a glance..."
Just then, she heard Qin Mubai outside the house and say, "Gao Yang, is your mother in the house?"
"Yes, what's the matter? What's the matter?" Princess Gaoyang asked.
"It's okay. I'm just going to leave the capital for a while and want to say goodbye to her. But I don't want to disturb her. Why don't you go in and pass it on for me?"
"It's good." Princess Gaoyang answered and pushed the door in, telling Qin Mubai's words to the truth.
After hearing this, Yin Defei was indifferent. She still closed her eyes and said lightly, "I know. Go and tell him. I love to listen to his pipa music. If you want, please play a song for me.
"Oh, okay." Princess Gaoyang blinked her eyes a few times, retreated lightly, and said to Qin Mubai, "Mubai, my mother asked you to play a song for her."
"Good." Without saying a word, Qin Mubai sat down in front of the door of Yin Defei, stroked the strings, and played a song "High Mountain and Flowing Water".
In the quiet room, Yin Defei closed her eyes and listened.
The fairy sound is winding, and the ownership is transferred around the beam.
Those notes seem to penetrate people's skin, reach the internal organs, and penetrate the hearts of the people's hearts.
"I'm... his bosom friend!" Yin Defei muttered, and her beautiful red lips seemed to tremble slightly.
The sound of the song suddenly stopped, and Qin Mubai outside said, "Yin Concubine, Weichen is here to say goodbye. Weichen is going to serve in Yuanren Prefecture and County. In this place, it will be a year and a half in short and three years and five years in the long. If Weichen is not in the capital, he will have to take care of Gao Yang.
The concubine didn't say anything. She closed her eyes, and her slightly pale face trembled.
Qin Mubai was also silent for a moment and said leisurely, "Mother, you should also take care of yourself."
Suddenly, Yin Defei burst into tears.
......
"Why didn't my mother talk? Shall I go in and have a look? Princess Gaoyang whispered.
"No more. Let's not bother too much. Let's go." Qin Mubai took Princess Gaoyang's little hand and turned around and walked towards the snow-covered courtyard.
Listening to the footsteps of stepping on the snow, Yin Defei cried like rain.
"Linger, Mu Bai, you... cherish it!"
......
Looking at the door, Qin Mubai turned around, erased the tears on Princess Gaoyang's eyelids and smiled.
"Go back, Linger." Qin Mubai whispered, "It's just a short separation, and I'll come back."
"But I really don't want you to leave..." Princess Gaoyang waved her arms and hugged Qin Mubai tightly, sobbing, "I'd rather not see you for a year, and I just want you to be in Chang'an. In this way, it will make me feel that you are very close to me!"
"Fool." Qin Mubai gently patted her on the back, "If the two love lasts for a long time, how can they be in the morning and evening? Didn't I tell you very early? This period of separation, just think of it as missing!"
"For missing? ..." Princess Gaoyang chewed this sentence carefully and muttered, "Isn't it really better to miss each other?"
"What?" Qin Mubai asked in surprise. This is not what Princess Gaoyang can say.
"My mother told me..." Princess Gaoyang whispered sadly, "She said, it's better to miss each other..."
"It's better to miss each other than to meet..." Qin Mubai tasted this sentence carefully in his heart. For a moment, his senses were mixed.
"Although I know you won't forget me and will come back one day, I'm just sad and sad..." Princess Gaoyang cried and sobbed, "Why can you men leave so cruelly? In your eyes, is separation worthless at all?
"It's not like that, Linger." Qin Mubai sighed, "No one likes to be separated. Men and women are all the same. It's just that the way of expression is different.
"I don't understand! Anyway, I just don't want to be separated from you, even for a moment!" Princess Gaoyang cried louder and hugged tighter.
......
After all, Qin Mubai left the big horn and the palace.
Learing the horse outside the imperial city wall with red walls and green tiles, Qin Mubai glanced sideways at the snow on the palace in the distance and muttered, "Life is really lonely as snow..."
......
In the next few days, Qin Mubai either walked with his father or acted alone, saying goodbye to Li Daozong, the king of Jiangxia, Li Jing, the Duke of Wei, Cheng Zhijie, the Duke of Lu, and the soldiers of Baiqi.
The taste of parting is always not very good. Mother Liu and Sister Shuang'er always shed tears secretly, and their eyes have always been red.
The demon no longer practices the piano, but always plays the pipa over and over again, becoming silent.
The night before leaving, Qin Mubai came to Wu Mei's house.
"I'm here to resign." The two sat opposite each other, and Qin Mubai said to Wu Mei Niang.
"I know." Wu Mei Niang nodded calmly, "It's just that I don't understand. Why did you come to see me today? Put me at the end of the farewell?"
"You should understand." Qin Mubai just smiled.
Wu Mei Niang's eyes drooped for a moment and whispered, "Is it because you can't bear to be separated from me?"
Qin Mubai smiled and said nothing.
Wu Meiniang sighed and said, "Let's go, let's go!" I have never had such a contradiction as today. I'm afraid of this moment, and I'm looking forward to you coming to me earlier. I haven't been out for four days. As a result, you came, but my heart ached.
Qin Mubai held her hand, held it in the palm of her hand, and gasped into the palm of her hand: "When I'm away, take good care of yourself."
"I know." Wu Mei Niang nodded, "You don't have to worry about me. Don't worry and boldly do what you should do.
"Does that matter mentioned before still count?" Qin Mubai suddenly asked.
"Which one?" Wu Mei Niang asked.
"That's right. You said that if I find a good shop, I will send a message to you. You go to Xiangzhou to open a Qinxian Pavilion." Qin Mubai said.
"..." Wu Meiniang frowned and whispered, "Besides... At that time, only one sentence was thrown out without consideration. It's not as easy as you think to open a new shop in a new place. Maybe it's more difficult than the world's first wine in Chang'an.
"I know." Qin Mubai nodded and was a little disappointed.
"But..." Wu Mei Niang smiled and said, "I can go to Xiangzhou to see you!"
Qin Mubai raised his eyebrows and smiled, "I'll wait for you!"
"But there is one thing I have to make clear to you now!" Wu Mei Niang said very seriously.
"What's the matter?"
"That's... It's enough to have a Princess Gaoyang. Don't mess with her anymore!" Wu Mei Niang gritted her teeth and said hatefully, "If you can't resist the lonely hook-up when you arrive in Xiangzhou, I will definitely not forgive you!"
"Uh! ..." Qin Mubai was stunned, "What if... others take the initiative to come up to hook up with me?"
"Then I'll drive her away and serve your family!" Wu Meiniang stared and said, "I can't beat Princess Gaoyang. Can't I beat the little girl in Xiangzhou? Humph!"
"What if you can't fight?" Qin Mubai was a thief and asked in a timid voice.
"You also said, beg for it!" Wu Mei Niang was furious. She jumped up and threw Qin Mubai to the ground. She pressed on him and roared with one of his ears, "Are you determined to provoke flowers in Xiangzhou?"
"No, no, this is a complete misunderstanding, misunderstanding!" Qin Mubai laughed, but a pair of thief hands held Wu Mei Niang tightly dishonestly.
"Thief man, it's too dishonest!" After holding his ears, Wu Mei Niang picked up his nose in shame and scolded him gently, "I really want to consider whether to go to Xiangzhou with you and watch you firmly!"
"Okay, welcome, welcome, warm welcome! On behalf of Xiangzhou, I would like to welcome Wu Mei Niang!" Qin Mubai laughed loudly.
"Well, don't even think about it!" Wu Mei Niang smiled delicately, grabbed his ear and shook it from side to side, and scolded in a vicious voice, "If you are not honest, you can't even look at it; if you are an honest man, you don't have to look at it at all. If you have me in your heart and are sincere to me, you will naturally touch your conscience and not mess around. If you don't prefer to do something wrong, it's useless for me to force you!"
"Touching your conscience?" Qin Mubai smiled badly, and a thief's hand swam from her back to her shoulder. He was about to attack her chest. The thief smiled and said, "Why don't I learn how to touch it first?"
"Bing for a beating! Ask for it! Deng Tuzi, if I don't deal with you for a day, you are so bad! Ah - look at the trick!"
"Wow--ah!"
A scream suddenly sounded, and the people of the Wu family raised their hair when they heard it - "What are you doing? It's so miserable?"
......
Soon after, Qin Mubai walked out of the gate of the Wu family, touched his ears as he walked, grinned and shouted in pain with a sad face.
Wu Mei Niang was sent to the door, covered her mouth and giggled: "Look at you, you will not be honest in the future. Humph, I have a unique way to deal with you!"
"Mei Niang, you are a dog who bit my ear?" Qin Mubai grinned and said depressedly, "It hurts. I'm afraid it's bleeding!"
"It's not pretending. I haven't. I've read it carefully a hundred times just now, and I don't even have tooth marks." Wu Mei Niang smiled and said, "Well, go back and have a rest quickly. I have to get up early tomorrow and go on my way!" Remember... When you arrive in Xiangzhou, take good care of yourself. Also, remember to miss me!"
"Then will you... come to Xiangzhou to see me?" Qin Mubai asked.
Wu Mei Niang raised the corners of her mouth with a mysterious smile: "I won't tell you!" Either come or not. Even if you come, I won't predict you in advance, so as not to give you time to erase some traces that I don't want you to see.
"Are you going to make a surprise attack?" Qin Mubai grinned in consternation and said to himself: Wu Mei Niang is too "modern", isn't she? Unexpectedly, you learned to "check the post" secretly without a teacher?
"You are very nervous! Haha!" Wu Mei Niang laughed and said, "That's the decision - I will definitely make 'sudden attacks' on you from time to time, so for the sake of your ears, you should be obedient in Xiangzhou!"
Qin Mubai subconsciously touched his ear and smiled dryly: "Don't worry, don't worry. I stay in a barracks full of men every day. Where do I go to make trouble? Besides, I have the most beautiful wife in the world. Who else will I look at?
"Hmm, it's better to be like this!"
