Marry a Villain ( 嫁反派 ) - Chapter 12

[Chapter 12 Chapter 12]

This year’s Xue Cen was still a little green and gentle.

He paid homage to General Yu in front of the steps and chatted with his friend Yu Huanchen, but his eyes always flew down the corridor unconsciously, following the slender and beautiful figure.

“What are you looking at?”

Yu Huanchen followed his line of sight, then he hooked Xue Cen’s shoulder with one arm and shook it, deliberately jokingly said, “I said, you are obviously marrying my eldest sister, why can you only see the second sister in your eyes? ? You kid, you can’t eat what’s in the bowl and look at what’s in the pot!”

“Yu Huanchen!”

Yu Xinyi hated others to make jokes about this, so he slapped the stone table in anger and sneered coldly, “You try to talk nonsense again? Who is marrying that nerd!”

Xue Cen had a good temper, shook his head with a smile, and broke away from Yu Huanchen’s claws.

He subconsciously touched his sleeve robe and called forward, “Second sister.”

Yu Lingxi, who was pouring tea, turned around, smiled a little, and nodded in return, “Brother Cen.”

“Second sister, please take a step to speak.” With the warm light of winter in his eyes, Xue Cen made a “please” gesture to the side.

Yu Mansion is open up and down, and there are not as many rules as other people’s homes. Yu Lingxi nodded and walked with him to the door of Yuedong. Remember m for a second. biqiudu. com

“This is given to the second sister.”

Xue Cen took out a small and long delicate gift box from his sleeve and handed it to Yu Lingxi quite solemnly.

At this time, in the hall.

Madam Yu looked along the Xuan window to the door of the Moon Cave in the courtyard, and her tea-making slowed down.

Then she gently pushed General Yu’s arm and signaled softly, “Husband, don’t you think that Xue Erlang and my family are getting closer and closer together?”

General Yu blew on the powdered tea, raised his eyes and looked out the window.

He laughed, not paying much attention: “The Xue family is the head of the civil servants, and my Yu family is the leader of the military commanders. The two families are close friends. The children often walk around and play. It’s normal for them to have a better relationship.”

“Having said that, the children have grown up after all, not as good as when they were children.”

Madam Yu sneered at her rambunctious husband, “You forgot that the Xue family made a verbal engagement with us, although it did not specify which daughter of my family to marry, but since the age was not yet born at that time, everyone acquiesced in the betrothal. Xin Yi. I was afraid that Suishui and Xue Erlang would get too close and would cause trouble for the two daughters.”

“Madame is too worried.”

General Yu put down the tea cup and patted Mrs. Yu’s still tender hands in a soothing manner, “Both daughters are my Yu Yuan’s heart, and it’s not a loss for the Xue family to marry either. As long as the children like each other, the two will be happy with each other. , is enough.”

“Also, I think Xin Yi doesn’t seem to care about Xue Erlang in that way. Ruosui Suishui really likes it…”

After thinking for a while, Mrs. Yu said, “Well, I’ll ask my daughter what she means when I look back, and what the Xue family thinks, and ask my husband to inquire more.”

General Yu agreed.

Under the Moon Cave Gate, the sun cast a long, lazy shadow.

When I opened the gift box, I saw that it was a white jade purple pen with a very beautiful carving.

Bamboo pens look at the color of the paint, and jade pens look at the carving work. Such fine jade carving pens seem to be from the hands of famous masters, and it took a lot of effort.

“Brother Cen, this is too expensive.” Yu Lingxi’s first reaction was to refuse.

Xue Cen’s posture remained unchanged, and he said warmly: “But I got it by accident. I remembered that the second sister is good at painting and calligraphy, so I bought it on my own initiative. If the second sister doesn’t like it, I am doing things wrong.”

Having said that, it would be inhumane to refuse again.

Yu Lingxi had to take it with both hands and said with a smile, “But it’s disrespectful, thank you brother Cen.”

“As long as you like it.” Xue Cen looked at her smiling eyes, her ears were slightly red.

But there was a trace of loneliness in the bottom of my heart.

The pretty girl in front of him was still close to him, but she was not as adored as before, and the shy pink on her little face was gone.

I haven’t seen her for three months, and she seems to have grown a lot, more quiet, more beautiful, and… more distant.

Not only Xue Cen, but Yu Xinyi also noticed something was wrong.

“Sui Sui, Xue Cen made you unhappy?” Yu Xinyi asked after the sisters reminisced after returning to the room.

Yu Lingxi’s almond eyes rolled: “Why did you say that, sister?”

Yu Xinyi’s ponytail was tied high, and he took off his saber and sat behind the desk. He smiled happily: “Didn’t you always run after Xue Cen like a little tail? It’s so quiet today, and left without saying a word. .”

“Really?” Yu Lingxi looked surprised, “I used to chase him all the time?”

Yu Xinyi smiled: “The kind of admiration that has just opened, even the blind can see it.”

Yu Lingxi recalled, but the memories of his past life and Xue Cen’s youth were like a layer of fog, and they became blurred and indistinguishable.

What she remembered was the night when she was alone and was forced to paint her brows and make up to sacrifice herself to the palace. Only Xue Cen rushed to the palace and knelt and begged for her all night in the heavy rain outside the palace of the regent.

It was after the Zhao Mansion’s birthday banquet that Xue Cen took all the responsibilities in prison, but his fingers were broken.

Yu Lingxi will always accept his love.

Yu Lingxi was very happy to see Xue Cen who was as warm as before, as if the debts and guilt that had tormented her for so long were instantly healed at this moment.

But other than that, she didn’t have any other charms.

That feeling is like…

Yu Lingxi’s eyes turned to the chili powder and refreshments on the table, and an inappropriate metaphor came up: it’s like after experiencing the spicy and tingling chili powder, it is difficult to taste the taste of porridge.

I don’t know when it started, Xue Cen existed like a brother in her heart.

“What are you thinking?” Yu Xinyi stepped forward and recalled her thoughts.

Yu Lingxi returned to her senses, put the precious white jade zihao pen on the pen holder, blinked and smiled, “I was thinking about when Brother Cen became my brother-in-law.”

“Beat!”

Yu Xinyi pinched her sister’s cheeks and snorted coldly, “That nerd’s eyes are full of you, I don’t want it! Take it and take it!”

…

This year the capital was bitterly cold, and there was another heavy snowfall at the end of the year.

On New Year’s Eve, the Yu Mansion was decorated with lanterns, which were as bright as day. The warm light of the lanterns was projected on the snowy scenery of the courtyard, making it extremely lively.

On New Year’s Eve, the ancestors were worshipped, followed by vigil and drinking Tusu wine.

Yu Huanchen took a large stack of New Year greetings from the housekeeper, and said with a smile: “This year’s posts are more than in previous years, many of which were sent by children from aristocratic families in Beijing. Old, why don’t you come and pick?”

Yu Lingxi never imagined that he would help the Yu family escape the disaster of the Northern Expedition, but he did not escape the wave of marriage requests from Shishiji and Gai.

She rolled her sleeves and added two tablespoons of pepper powder to Tusu wine, and said indifferently, “Don’t look at it.”

General Yu spoke from the upper seat and coaxed: “It’s a rule for a woman to discuss her relatives with her hairpin, and it’s okay for a good girl to take a look.”

Yu Huanchen joked on the sidelines: “Father, my little sister might have a heart for it!”

Yu Lingxi also smiled, her curved eyes sparkling with lights, “Father, Mother, if the eldest brother is not married, why should the younger sister marry first? Or wait for the elder brother to marry the Su family girl, and then discuss our business. .”

“The good girl is right.”

General Yu’s offensive was successfully diverted, then his face sank, and he glared at his son, “Go to Su’s house in the new year, and get your marriage done earlier.”

Yu Huanchen glanced at Yaomei resentfully, like an eggplant hit by frost, and died.

Yu Xinyi gloated at the misfortune and gave his sister a thumbs up.

Taking advantage of the fact that the family was worried about Yu Huanchen’s marriage, Yu Lingxi sneaked out and went outside to breathe.

She drank a lot of wine at night, her cheeks were hot, and she was eager to cool down, so she walked slowly along the hand porch, letting the cold night wind with ice and snow blow away the heat from her body.

I don’t know how long it took, the lights faded away, and the cangxue on the eaves showed a dark blue arc in the night.

Yu Lingxi heard the rustling sound of snow-sweeping, stopped to look, and saw a thin and tall figure clinging to a broom in the dark place ahead, alone cleaning the snow in the backyard.

Tonight on New Year’s Eve, all the servants and attendants put on new clothes and gathered in the front yard, waiting for the child to receive the reward, so the back yard was left unattended.

Except for this snow sweeper.

Yu Lingxi felt good in her heart, so she touched the small purse she carried with her, and said to the walnut carrying the lantern: “The New Year’s Eve is still sweeping snow, but he is a diligent person. You go and invite him to come and collect the reward.”

Hu Tao said, “Hey,” and called forward with the lantern: “The snow sweeper, Miss asked you to come here!”

Snowsweeper’s figure paused and turned around.

Yu Lingxi was startled, and the words “Ning Yin” poured out of her mouth, almost blurting out.

Thinking that I shouldn’t recognize him in my life, I swallowed the name that came to my mouth and asked, “Are you healed? What are you doing here?”

After that, he looked at Hu Tao again: “Someone pushed him and forced him to work?”

Hu Tao shook his head, but also looked blank.

“I do it myself.”

Ning Yin stood upright in a dark green robe, as if he was not holding a broom, but a long sword that could determine life and death.

He lowered his eyes, but without the slightest bit of cowardice, he said in a low voice, “The road is slippery in the snowy days, I’m afraid the young lady will fall.”

This road is indeed the only way for Yu Lingxi to return to the wing.

Because of the paving of bluestone, it was extremely slippery when the snow froze.

Yu Lingxi stared at the bluestone path covered with a thin layer of ice, and was speechless for a while.

Ning Yin misunderstood her meaning, put the broom against the wall, and then came slowly.

The shadows faded from his body layer by layer, and the warm light of the octagonal gauze lamp under the corridor brightened his young and handsome face.

Under Yu Lingxi’s puzzled gaze, he lifted his robe and knelt down in a submissive posture, then crossed his fingers, palms up, and placed his hands on the frozen bluestone.

“What are you doing?” Yu Lingxi asked.

Ning Yin raised her head, with her bright red skirt reflected in her eyes, and said calmly, “The stone road is slippery, please step on my palm.”

He spoke so calmly, without a trace of humiliation and shame in his dark eyes, as if he was born like this.

Yu Lingxi felt a burst of anger from nowhere, and frowned, “I seem to have said that you are not allowed to bring to my mansion the same way that the immortals of the Desire Realm are humiliated and used to make people.”

Realizing that she was angry, Ning Yin glanced at her and lowered her eyes quickly.

The fingers resting on the bluestone gradually curled up, the knuckles were already frozen red, and the appearance of bowing his head and half-kneeling was a bit lonely and pitiful.

Yu Lingxi resigned and sighed softly, “Forget it, get up, you won’t be allowed to do this in the future.”

Ning Yin stood up according to the words and stood aside.

There are thin frost and snow on his eyelashes, which are fragile and beautiful, and he doesn’t know how long he has swept them in the cold weather.

He is a “passer-by” who is temporarily living in the mansion to recover from his injuries. Naturally, no one will take him into account for such a lively scene of receiving a reward during the New Year.

Yu Lingxi took the lantern in Hu Tao’s hand, put the lamp on the bluestone road to warm the thin ice, and then instructed Hu Tao, “Go get some Tusu wine and hot food.”

He can’t be a big New Year’s Eve, he can’t even drink a sip of hot wine.

Walnut Felicity went down to make arrangements.

Yu Lingxi didn’t leave in a hurry, and just sat beside the carved fence under the corridor to rest.

After a long while, the boy’s low and stubborn voice came through the cold night wind: “I just want to repay the young lady and make the young lady happy.”

Yu Lingxi was surprised and glanced at the young man standing in front of the steps.

When the time was right, fireworks in the city shot up into the sky, exploding pieces of tea millet in the black and blue night sky.

At that moment, the thousands of lights and snow in the city were eclipsed.

In the vestibule, the servants and the servants gave congratulations in unison, and it was lively and lively, but in Ning Yin’s eyes, there was only the darkness of the night, and it was difficult to distinguish between light and dark.

Yu Lingxi suddenly remembered that the regent’s mansion in the previous life never celebrated the New Year and did not light lanterns.

When the lanterns and lanterns in Beijing were bright and lively, only the palace was as quiet as a tomb, without even a red lantern or a peach amulet.

The only bright color in the whole New Year’s Eve was probably the blood of Ning Yin’s lower clothes, which I don’t know who.

Once, Ning Yin was in a good mood and asked Yu Lingxi what she wanted.

How dare Yu Lingxi really make any excessive demands?

After thinking about it for a long time, I finally made up a sentence: “I want to see the lanterns on the Yuan Festival.”

Ning Yin bit her lower lip grinningly, licked the blood beads off her head, and said with a smile, “Okay.”

But on the day of Shangyuan Festival, what was waiting for them was the empress dowager and the remnants of the party, who were obsessed with the little emperor’s robe and belt, and worked with the eunuchs to create an elaborate banquet for Ning Yin.

That night, blood flowed into a river in front of the imperial steps, and Yu Lingxi almost died on the spot.

Ning Yin wiped off the blood from her fingertips, and took Yu Lingxi up to the high platform of the palace wall, waiting for her to watch the most enthusiastic and profound “light show” in the whole capital.

It’s just that it’s not the lanterns that are burning on the pillars, but the people——

One by one, screaming and wailing, living traitors.

It was the first time that Ning Yin had killed someone in front of her. Yu Lingxi’s face was as white as paper, and he would always remember his eyes at that time.

He grinned, and the fireworks of the “Sky Lantern” were reflected in his eyes, and he couldn’t tell whether it was a god in the sky or an evil ghost in the world.

Such a desperate and crazy destruction is very different from the quiet young man in front of him.

For some reason, Yu Lingxi’s eyes were filled with the light of New Year’s fireworks, and he actually felt a little bit of emotion.

If Ning Yin hadn’t experienced those, would he… be different?

The thought just passed by like a ripple, and she was shaken out of her mind.

“Miss, the food has been brought.” Hu Tao led the four little maids and brought a lot of hot wine and food.

Even a small stove for warm wine was brought along.

After preparing the wine and vegetables, Yu Lingxi sat upright, glanced at the young man under the corridor, and pursed his lips: “Come and sit.”

There was obvious surprise in Ning Yin’s eyes.

He walked slowly up the stone steps and stood in front of Yu Lingxi, but he still refused to take a seat.

When Yu Lingxi saw his well-behaved and pitiful appearance, he was heartbroken, and he simply stretched out his hand and pulled him to sit down on the carved bench.

She poured a glass of hot wine herself, sprinkled two spoonfuls of her favorite pepper powder, thought about it, and added another spoonful.

Then he handed this glass of sincere wine to Ning Yin and said warmly, “Drink it.”
