Chapter 4 She Said
The tea cup was quietly placed on the table, and it was already cold.
?Chen Changsheng sat quietly on the chair without any intention of speaking.
Just like back then, nothing seemed to change.
But in fact, everything has changed a long time ago.
The young Taoist priest who was destroyed after entering Kyoto has become His Majesty the Pope.
Fortunately, like in the past, Xu Shiji was not here, otherwise the scene would be even more embarrassing.
The bead curtain touched lightly, making a crisp sound, and Xu Yourong walked out from behind the curtain.
After returning to the God General's Mansion, Xu Yourong ignored him and left him in the hall, and went to wash himself.
This looks very casual, just like the black hair that is casually scattered behind you at this time.
There are a few water droplets between the slightly wet hair, and the clean and dust-free face looks very charming.
Chen Changsheng likes the beauty of his fiancée very much, and likes her casualness towards herself even more. He wants to just watch it all the time, but this place is Xu's mansion after all, and he still has a lot to do.
He stood up and said to Xu Yourong, "Then I'll leave first."
Xu Yourong was a little surprised and said, "Are you not going to eat?"
This is her home, Chen Changsheng is her fiancé, and she is very casual with both parties, so she asked this question very naturally. It was not until she noticed the strange atmosphere in the flower hall that she understood the reason, couldn't help laughing, and said, "Then you go."
"I'll pick you up tomorrow." Chen Changsheng said to her.
Then he turned around and said goodbye to Mrs. Xu, without forgetting to nod and greet the mother-in-law and Shuang'er.
No matter whether he is etiquette or demeanor, he has nothing to be picky about.
This calmness reminded Mrs. Xu and others of the scene from a few years ago.
There seems to be no change to him over the years. Whether it is the young Taoist priest at the time or the current Pope, he has always been so calm and indifferent to this world and the people living in this world.
Walk out of the God General's Mansion, walk forward along the inconspicuous river, and soon arrive at the simple stone arch bridge.
Chen Changsheng walked to the bridge and did not look back at the mansion and art academy like he did a few years ago.
After three years, he returned to Kyoto. He did not go to the palace or the National Education College. Instead, he came to the Xu Mansion as soon as possible. It was not because he wanted to do something, but because his fiancée asked him to accompany him home. The reason was that simple.
In the past few years, he has been a guest at Xu Mansion twice. If he wants to be proud, it doesn’t seem like a different life, nor does it.
He and Xu Yourong are still young, have a long life, there are still many things to do, and there are still many places to go.
The past is really unimportant compared to the future.
Then, let it pass, or this is the meaning of the past existence.
Suddenly, snowflakes fell.
Chen Changsheng opened the yellow paper umbrella and disappeared into the crowd.
...
...
Let it pass. This is a very simple saying, a very simple truth, but not everyone can do it.
For example, Xu Shiji.
After returning to the mansion, he heard about what happened during the day and his face became extremely ugly, but in the end he did nothing.
Even a porcelain wine glass was not thrown.
Because Xu Yourong was resting in the backyard at this time.
The entire God General's Mansion is as quiet as an old mountain.
Over the years, Xu Shiji has admitted reality that his status in the Great Zhou Dynasty came entirely from his daughter.
Whether in the reign of the Heavenly Sea Saint Queen or now, it has never changed.
This is a difficult thing to accept, but he can only accept it.
He had no idea how to face his daughter.
Mrs. Xu couldn't forget the past, and she said in a low mood: "How could I have thought that he would become the Pope?"
Xu Shiji said in a deep voice: "So what? After all, I am not my Xu Shiji's son-in-law!"
...
...
"I don't know how proud I feel when my son-in-law left."
In the backyard, Shuang'er stood in front of Xu Yourong holding a bowl of blue lobster meat, and said with a little annoyance.
Xu Yourong said softly: "You mentioned in your letter that he was like this at that time. What was he so proud of at that time?"
Shuang'er thought for a while and said, "He was... too hypocritical, or pretentious at that time?"
Xu Yourong raised her head and glanced at her faintly.
Shuang'er became nervous and said quickly: "Miss, I was wrong."
Xu Yourong asked, "Do you know yourself*******?"
Thinking that she was extremely unbearable about Chen Changsheng back then, thinking that the lady and the other party are deeply in love, she became more and more nervous, and her voice trembled slightly, "I can't see how good my son-in-law is, and I still talk about him a lot."
"Your vision is indeed not good, but how many people could tell how good he was back then?"
Xu Yourong suddenly remembered that when he returned to Kyoto, he visited the National Education College at night, but met Mo Yu's old story in his room.
Thinking that Mo Yu was about to get married, but she asked him to come back as the boss of the marriage, she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows slightly, thinking that this was a person with vision.
"What's the point of being good about him?"
Xu Yourong said softly: "I just like that no matter what he encounters, even the horror between life and death, he will never be depressed. Moreover, he is not the unrestrained body after giving up, he is still focused and persistent, firm and calm."
Shuang'er couldn't understand, but she could hear the lady's true love in her words, so she couldn't help but be stunned.
The marriage between Chen Changsheng and Xu Yourong has been fixed, but until now, she still doesn't think that the lady really likes Chen Changsheng.
Because in her opinion, the lady is as noble and proud and cold as a phoenix. How could she like someone?
At this time, a maid came to report that Xu Shiji was here.
The gate of the courtyard opened and a footprint appeared on the snow.
The two sat opposite each other, with two precious tea cups on the table.
Everything is very polite, not like a father and daughter, but more like a guest.
Xu Shiji looked at his daughter and wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say, and he wanted to say something but stopped.
In the end, he could only leave with his daily life at will, but he did not hide his worries before leaving.
Xu Yourong knew what his father wanted to say, or he wanted him to say something to Chen Changsheng.
Just like when I was a child, my father would do this when he wanted to go to the palace to meet the Holy Queen.
She didn't want to listen because she wasn't going to say anything to Chen Changsheng.
This is also very similar to when she was a child. She never wanted to tell these things to the Holy Queen Mother.
Since Tianfeng's bloodline first woke up and she began to practice Taoism, she has felt that these things are boring and annoying.
Tonight she felt very annoyed again, so she climbed to the roof facing Yexue, and started stargazing with her hands on her back.
There are thick clouds in the night sky, so naturally there is no sign of the stars in the sky, but it cannot isolate her spiritual consciousness.
She watched the sea of stars at night, and she was in tune with the spells of the stele of the heavenly calligraphy. She realized quietly and felt the Tao’s heart gradually calmed down.
The wind and snow were chaotic, and the girl in black landed beside Xu Yourong.
The light was a little dim, but the cinnabar mole on her eyebrows was still bright and dazzling.
Xu Yourong stared there and looked at it twice.
The girl in black said slightly annoyed, "Are you so curious?"
Xu Yourong said seriously: "Of course, when I was a child, one year I went to Beixinqiao for an outing, and I was really going to jump into the well to find you."
The girl in black sneered and said, "Then why haven't I seen you before? And you are still alive."
Xu Yourong looked at the snow falling in the night sky and said with a smile: "The Empress saved me."
