Chapter 6 Heroine 6
The process of making a decision was arduous, but after the decision, I suddenly felt relieved.
Many of people's hardships often come from themselves. If you get it, you may not be happy; but if you lose it, it is often painful. Especially the loss.
People are used to losing, but that's fine, because what they lose is often irreversible, such as time, such as old relatives. Although it was painful at that time, it was a natural way, although it was sad but not. And the loss is not the case. It is obvious that you can get it, but you missed it because of the opportunity. Once this almost in hand is lost, it will be exchanged for long-term regret and pain. Some pain will even last a lifetime.
The entanglement and pain these days, of course, do not come from the pain of dealing with amaranth, but from the pain of the possibility of losing amaranth. Difficult to get, painful to lose.
However, once you have decided to give up and no longer have any thoughts and regrets, you will no longer bear all kinds of pressure in your heart. This is the source of relief. The so-called foot washing is also.
I wrote a letter to Amaranth myself, explaining my thoughts and decisions to her. I didn't hide my deep feelings and miss for her, but I felt that I couldn't get away from state affairs, military affairs and family affairs for the time being. Finally, I added some routines that hope that she could find Ruyi Langjun Yunyun, which made me feel tingling in my heart.
After the letter was written, I picked it up and read it several times from beginning to end. I saw that it was the only way, so I ordered someone to send it.
Two days later, it was the day when I was going to lead the last 2,000 soldiers to the south to meet Liu Prison.
Unexpectedly, in the early morning on the day of departure, the owner of the "Immortal Pavilion", that is, the M Mother of Amaran, rushed to my residence. It is said to be for the sake of sending off, but it is actually for the sake of amaranth.
I saw that there were still two hours before departure, and everything was set up. When the hour arrived, I would pack up to Loumen to send troops out of the city. So I took care of the refreshment and invited the Mother to sit in the room.
M Mother said some polite words, then sighed and said, "I know everything about the general and the amaranth. I also know that Amaran has been to the general's residence twice. I also persuaded her, but she insisted on coming, and I couldn't persuade her. However, amaranth is different from ordinary women, and it is not a bad thing for her to meet the general openly. The child lost his parents when he was young and wandered around with his relatives. Later, her relatives had a hard time, so they had to sell her to me. The general also knows what I do for a living. This amaranth has been like other maids since she was a child. In order to learn dance and music, she must be beaten and scolded. But I found that she was very different from other girls. She didn't say anything and had some insight.
"Oh."
"Moreover, she is also very well-behaved and only treats me as her mother. Gradually, I also relied on her for everything. After being with her for a long time and kissing her, she simply recognized her as her goddaughter. I have a biological daughter, but I am much more close to amaranth than my own daughter. After she was older, I specially asked my husband to teach her to read and write, and personally taught her to sing songs and actresses. Finally, she redeemed a lot of things that her family had bought for her. Although they are all worthless things such as clothes and books, they are left by her parents after all. Leave her a thought. Fortunately, there are still those things that have not been sold in the pawnshop.
"So it is."
"Maybe she was born in the general's family. She has a little bold temperament, but that's not the wind and moon at all. My own daughter has never let her be contaminated with those, not to mention that amaranth is even more intimate than her own daughter. I have never been biased by my two daughters. On the contrary, amaranth was young and playful, and the other also wanted to repay my upbringing. As soon as I became an adult, I began to take care of Qulou. In the past few years, I have also relied on her talent to attract those guests. But please rest assured, at best, Amaranth only sings and dances to please people, and the person is still clean and has not been stained at all.
Mami said a big call in one breath before stopping to take a sip of tea.
I thought to myself: It's not easy to say what I refuse to say in front of amaranth, but now it seems to be more difficult to say in front of others. It's better to write it down with a pen. No wonder so many people study poetry and books, strive to write good articles and write good words. Up to now, I have more understanding the benefits of reading and writing articles.
I took advantage of the time to drink tea to quench my thirst and said to her with a smile, "I understand what you and Mother said. I am deeply honored by the friendship of Amaranth. In terms of talent and appearance, amaranth is comparable to extraordinary people. I'm lucky that she can recognize people, but I'm afraid she knows the wrong person. This is the first floor.
"I understand."
"In addition, I made it clear in my letter to her. I have a family. Since I was a child, my family has been poor, and I really have no benefit from the wind of a rich family. Amaranth is an elegant man, and I am a vulgar man. It's lucky for me to have this relationship all my life. How can there be any other extravagant hope? Moreover, in these troubled times, there is nothing but to do everything except to be loyal to the country and to the family. I have to ask Mami to go back and tell her that I'm afraid that the girl's feelings for me will hurt Liu Yu. Liu Yu is deeply sorry for the deep intention of the girl. For Amaranth, I can only miss him silently, that's all.
Mother persuaded me for another long time, but I still insisted on the decision that night.
Mary saw that what I said was reasonable, and finally had to sigh and say, "Amaran is really not wrong. You are indeed a rare man. Even the old man was convinced by what he said just now. No wonder amaranth only used love on you. It's a pity that she will suffer for the rest of her life. After saying that, he wiped a handful of tears.
At this time, a relative outside the door raised a corner of the curtain and looked in and shrank his head back. I stopped him and asked if there was anything. The soldiers replied that Loumen's army had arrived and was reorganizing the army. Someone came to see if I had finished cleaning up. I asked my soldiers to tell me that I would go to Loumen.
Mother saw that it was not early, and I had military affairs. I quickly wiped away my tears and got up to say goodbye.
When I sent her out, she had to pull my clothes and told me to be careful on the way south to ask for thieves. He said, "In addition to the old and others, the people in Wujuncheng are waiting to hear the letter of General Liu and Liu joining the army to kill the thief triumphant."
I said, "Please rest assured. This time, I will definitely kill all the thieves to thank the people of Wu County.
Send Mother away. I hurriedly changed my military uniform, got on the horse and rushed to Loumen.
When he arrived at Loumen, Liu Jingxuan was taking the generals guarding Wu County to set up wine with me on the tower. After rewarding a few cups to the generals leading the army, I said goodbye to the crowd and led the army out of the city.
Day and night, before arriving in Shanghai, I heard a rumor from among the soldiers. These rumors originated from the people who fled to the north. When I first heard it, I couldn't help lifting the reeds of the horse. The horse stambled and almost lifted me off my back. I said repeatedly, "Impossible! Impossible!"
But the next day when I saw the official war report from Liu prison, I was convinced that Wu Xingtaishou killed thousands of innocent people overnight to avoid the temptation of Sun En.
It's really unprecedented for officials to kill people.
I can't help sighing: It seems that the owner of the solar eclipse is not just one murder!
(chapter note:
Note 1 - Solar eclipse: that is, solar eclipse. The ancients believed that the solar eclipse was a bad omen. Each solar eclipse will be recorded as an important event in the country.
