Love Like The Galaxy.

Chapter 38

Shao Shang was confused about what had happened in the past two days until he was carried on the wide carriage.

When she came home from the Yin Mansion that day, it was already evening. Two solemn-looking martial maids called her to the Jiuyu Hall, only to see the huge candles in the hall, and Mrs. Xiao's face was frosty as she was independent. She knew immediately that something had happened. When she set up the bureau, she thought that someone might see her hands and feet, but she never thought about it so quickly. Therefore, in the face of Mrs. Xiao's questioning, she bluntly admitted it.

"There's no reason, I just want to vent my anger." Shao Shang looked indifferent and knew no wrong.

Mrs. Xiao sternly reprimanded, this guy is dragging the ancient text sentence by sentence, and the young merchant is too lazy to distinguish. After the verbal reprimand was over, it was the turn of the legendary 'family law'. Mrs. Xiao was obviously prepared, and the rescuers seemed to be not in the mansion. Shao Shang knew that it was not good, but she was used to being strong since she was a child, and she was punished calmly without saying a word.

When the four maids pressed her on the rectangular table, Shao Shang was a little flustered, and then saw the terrifying old man coming with a stick, her forehead was faintly sweating - although she has been unkind to her mother since her young father Love, cold eyes and prejudice are constant, but there is really no sin in the flesh!

Seeing that Director Xiao was obviously going to make a big deal, Shao Shang wanted to beg for mercy, but he couldn't open his mouth.

When the first stick hit her hard, Shao Shang's breathing stopped, and her hips and legs seemed to be on fire in the dry grass for a long time. Hearing the hoarseness in his throat, like a fish whose scales were scraped alive, he could only suck in the cool air.

For fear of saying shameful words for begging for mercy, Shao Shang clenched his lips tightly, never opening his mouth to inhale even if it hurt to the point of suffocation - as for why not begging for mercy? Director Xiao today is not as angry as she used to be. She even feels that as long as she begs for mercy, she should be able to avoid this crime. But she just doesn't ask for mercy! Even if you are killed!

When she was in elementary school, there was a class teacher who was good to her. She was old and kind. She once said to her grandmother, 'Ling Nan is so stubborn and tough. It must be hard.'

Sadly, she will soon retire. After that, Shaoshang never met such a teacher again. Later, when another teacher treated her well, it was only when her grades were better than others.

After hitting a few sticks in total, Shao Shang couldn't remember clearly. He tasted the astringent fishy smell in his mouth, and his body was numb with pain. On the contrary, the bite on his lips hurt more clearly. Feeling dizzy, she was carried back to her place, only to hear Ah Li's cries and cries, she felt light inexplicably, and then she didn't know anything.

When she was half-awake and half-dazed, she felt that her wound was cool, and she must have been on medicine. Another warm, soft hand caressed her gently, from her hair to her face to the wound. The skin on the palm was delicate, completely different from Ah Lisheng's calloused hand, Shao Shang thought drowsily, it was probably the Sang family.

When I woke up again, it was already dark, but I didn't know if it was the third or fourth watch in the middle of the night. Shao Shang was taken aback by a huge black and fluffy figure on the bed. It's moving, it's scary. But because of the pain, Shaoshang's response to the shock was much slower, and he had no strength to scream, so he could only stare blankly.

Cheng Shi sat on the head of the bed and cried, his burly and tall figure twitched, and by the faint light of the soot buried in the stove, Shao Shang saw his father's beard covered with tears and snot, which made him feel a little disgusted. .

Then she cried.

She didn't cry when she was ridiculed, she didn't cry when she was bullied, and she still gritted her teeth and didn't cry when she was severely punished, but at this time she was crying like a kindergarten middle-class Cheng Xiaoyu yesterday. Crying for a stomachache.

She has always despised her grandmother for being old and incompetent, unable to withstand the wind and rain outside for her when she was young, and feudal and ignorant, unable to point her to the path of life. Let her face that malicious world alone at a young age.

She went to board a key high school with a black badge on her arm. At that time, she didn't realize anything until the principal personally gave her a certificate of honor at the celebration party. They all praised her for being sensible and able to get into such a good university, it was the light of the whole town - she suddenly wanted to let her grandma see all this.

However, the old man has been dead for three years, and the grass is growing on the tomb.

Only then did Shao Shang realize that he was really the only one in the world. The son wants to be filial but the relatives are not there, these seven words are so bloody, there is no room for repentance, no one can complain about your guilt and gratitude, you can only walk forward with your neck stuck.

Shao Shang lay on Cheng Shi's knees and wept loudly, heartbreakingly, wishing he could vomit out his heart and liver.

Why is she always cautious when she follows the eldest sister, because no one outside will take care of her fault; why does she dare to quarrel or even fight with others in Yinjiawan's house, because she knows that Father Cheng will forgive her and serve her Aftermath.

She is such a despicable villain!

But now she wants to be good to Father Cheng, her brothers, her uncles, aunts, and sisters, so that they can be happy and proud of herself, instead of worrying all day about when she will clean up the mess for her again.

The father and daughter cried bitterly, until the fire was about to go out, and Ah Li had no choice but to come in to add charcoal.

Cheng Shi didn't say anything to Shaoshang from the beginning to the end. Would a smart person like his daughter know the truth of "don't take risks lightly, don't make too many enemies"?

After a day's rest, Shaoshang will set off with Cheng Zhi and Sang. On the day when everyone in the Cheng residence saw them off, the sky was gloomy, there was no wind and no snow, and Mrs. Xiao was absent without an excuse.

Cheng's mother still dragged her younger son to cry and wipe away tears. At the same time, she glared at Sang like a hungry wolf protecting her food, and threatened her to take good care of the 'oldest relative'. With the same expression and the same nagging, Cheng Shi repeated to his daughter how to recover from the injury, how to be strong, eat more meat and vegetables and move more, and then instructed Ah Li in the same way.

Before dawn, Cheng Cha led the women to cook in person, and prepared a few baskets full of snacks for Shaoshang to eat on the road. Cheng Song and Cheng Shaogong kept moving things into Shaoshang's luggage, and they didn't know what was stuffed. eat and play.

Cheng Yong stood beside him for a while before walking straight to the side of the car. Through the curtains, he stuffed a piece of new ink wrapped in oilcloth into Shaoshang's hand, and said in a low voice, "Continue reading and writing, don't waste it."



Shao Shang propped himself up, stuck his head out, saw that the elder brother's eyes were a little red, and said, "eldest brother, don't stay up late to study in the future. Be careful, you will be bald and blinded before thirty!" ,Sighed.

After finally getting rid of the enthusiasm of Cheng Mu and Cheng Shi, the convoy was finally able to set off. Unfortunately, Shao Shang's injury was still in pain, so he could only lie down in the carriage honestly, missing the spectacular scene of looking up at the dome as he passed through the magnificent city gate.

In the other carriage, Cheng Zhi was gossiping with his wife: "Why didn't Aunt Yuanyi come out today? She would never do such a rude thing."

Sang glared at her husband: "It's a clear thing, What are you asking?"

Cheng Zhi asked again, "Didn't we agree that we would use ten sticks that day? There are still three or four sticks left, so why did the elder sister break the cup?

" What are you asking?"

Cheng Zhi was amused by his wife: "Tell me, should we tell Yao Yao, lest their mother and daughter become more and more stiff."

Sang said, "How do you say?' Yao Yao, your father originally wanted to I beat you ten sticks, your mother softened and beat you three sticks, are you happy?!"

She followed her husband's tone and rolled her eyes, "If you really said it, I don't know if their mother and daughter are well. I know, their father and daughter will not get better. At that time, see if your brother doesn't bake you alive!"

Cheng Zhi smacked his mouth: "Okay, then I won't talk about it. I'll go back and persuade Ya Ya, don't keep following along. My mother is angry."

Sang's white eyes were about to fly out of the sky: "You think you are amazing in your heart, so she just listens to what you say? She only listens to 30% to 40% of what your brother says!"

She felt deeply that her husband was selfish It feels too good," he said with a right mind and a stubborn temper. Some things have to be figured out by her own. You'd better save your energy and find something delicious, fun or novel and interesting for her when you are in office. I'll come."

Cheng Zhi lowered his shoulders and sighed, "Curling is really tough, and he is so stunned that he doesn't say a word. It's a pity that he is a daughter, if he were a man, he would definitely be able to make a lot of achievements!"

Sang Shi was silent for a while, then said: "That Qianzheng is really good. I have seen the wounds of the curls. The bloodstained but not broken skin, the redness and swelling and bruises are not deep, so..." She couldn't help reaching out to her husband's back. As soon as he pressed it, "Does it really hurt?"

Cheng Zhi immediately exclaimed like a living shrimp, mourning for pain.

While he was protecting his back, he pointed at his wife: "You, you, you...you have no conscience. You told me to go to Qian and try a cane to try some painful methods, and you still treat me like this?!" He was hit by the stick, and almost half of his body was numb from the pain.

Sang Shi couldn't help laughing: "If you don't get a cane, just by looking at the injury, how would I know how painful the curl is." After laughing, she also sighed, "It's not hard, it's a sullen heart. Don't bother me for a while, I'll take care of her!"

Cheng Zhi was very dissatisfied, and was about to open his mouth when he heard the sound of horses' hooves outside, and the family would come across the car to report: "There's a group of people chasing her, saying it's too much. The nephew of Pu Lou Jing and the son of Lou Ji, the chief of Yanzhou County, called Lou Yao, I want to see your lord."

"Lord Lou's nephew?" Cheng Zhi looked at a loss, "What does the Lou family have to do with us, my brother just became acquainted. Why? I don't know."

Sang Shi thought for a while, and a smile appeared on the corners of his lips.

Cheng Zhi put on his coat and got off the car, and saw a team of neatly dressed guards, each riding a fat, tall, tall horse, and holding a heroic young man waiting not far away.

When the young man saw Cheng Zhi, he immediately turned over and dismounted, and bowed to salute: "Boy Louyao, I greeted Cheng's uncle!"

Cheng Zhi returned the salute, said a few polite remarks and cut to the subject: "Why did you come this time, Mr. Lou? "

Probably because of the galloping horse, Lou Yao was still whimpering, sweating on his forehead, and nervously said: "Uncle Cheng, I'm... not today, I have seen Lingyu Shao Shang Jun before, I feel... I feel her... ...I came to see her today, I don't know if my uncle will allow me to see her..."

After a lot of detours, in fact, everything was clear, and the young man's face flushed.

"You know my young businessman?" Cheng Zhi looked at the sun and felt that he was not dizzy.

Lou Yao's face became more red, and he stuttered more and more: "Yes, I have seen it before, but I don't know each other... But, it's like seeing each other..."

Cheng Zhi became more and more surprised: "Shao Shang and you met at first sight?" It seems that brother and sister are still friends. Forgetting, the niece will not only cause trouble, but also attract peach blossoms. After going out for a few banquets, he attracted the son of Hedong Lou to follow, excellent, excellent.

"When and where have you met my concubine?"

Cheng Zhi raised his head inexplicably. Although his daughter Cheng Wei was not yet ten years old, he had consciously entered the old father-in-law's picky mode in advance.

"—Your Excellency is really, what's wrong with asking a lot of questions." Who knew that Mrs. Sang helped the servant girl to get out of the car and came to demolish her husband's platform, "Young Master Lou said that he knew Shao Shang, how could he make fun of us!"

She said He smiled at the young man Lou Yao again, "Young Shang is suffering from a little illness. He was in the car in front, and Mr. Lou would go and talk if he had something to say. But we have to get to the station before sunset. Mr. Wanwanglou should be faster."

Lou Yao was sweating profusely from being asked by Cheng Zhi. Hearing Sang Shi's words, his face was full of gratitude. He almost nodded his head to the ground when he cupped his hands together, but Cheng Zhi couldn't help but laugh.

Not only that, Sang also kindly asked Alimie Amei to come out of the carriage of the young merchant, so that the young man and woman could speak alone. Cheng Zhi said angrily, "You might as well hold a blind date feast for them!"

Sang Shi said: "The blind date feast is not needed, just don't make trouble."

Cheng Zhi snorted a few times, then suddenly said: "... ...Aren't you dissatisfied with how Sister Yuan Yi treats you like that?"

Sang Shi was silent for a long time, then said, "I am blessed with good life. My parents are knowledgeable and they only tell me to be upright and kind, and others can talk about it. I don't love Nvhong, my father. Just say no, I don't like to stay with my sisters all day gossiping, so my brother drove me to see the world. Even after I dealt with Huangfu's family affairs like that, the family also depended on me. However, Xiangjun didn't Such a good life."

Cheng Zhi said, "Is that your best friend? I remember she's already..." The grave must have grown into a tree.

Sang's heart was aching: "In terms of talent, Xiangjun is not inferior to his wife at all, but unfortunately, she has not met such good parents as me, and she was forced to marry a not open-minded husband, so she died early with hatred. ."

Cheng Zhi recalled for a while, and said, "So a few years ago when her family came to ask for your help, you just perfunctory?"

Sang Shi said bitterly: "There are thousands of horses in the family, but they can gallop in the world. If you want to be locked up and detained, you deserve your family's downfall! Hmph, don't they say that rules are more important than the prosperity of the family, so just stick to their rules!"

Speaking of which, she felt sad, "Xiangjun is still too kind and generous. Now, I can't bear to betray my parents and family. If you can step on her head and turn your face away, just like a curl, then...then she must be alive now..."

Cheng Zhi sighed, although his wife said His words were suspected of instigating the child to disrespect his parents, but he understood his wife's grief, so he put his arms around her shoulders and stopped talking.

...

Over there, Lou Yao shrugged and walked to Shaoshang's car.

Shao Shang looked through the hanging car curtain and was very surprised: Although he had met this person twice, he had not even spoken a word.

"I don't know what advice Mr. Lou has?" She thought to herself that she had never offended this person. I think should not be?

Lou Yao had been looking at the girl in the car for a long time, only to see that the light in the car was dim, and she was pale and weak, her brows were lightly frowned, like a small flower whose head was lowered by the rain, white and beautiful, as clear as autumn water .

Thinking that the Cheng family motorcade had to hurry, he summoned up his courage and said, "You...I, I want to say, you are very good, I, you are very good..."

Shao Shangyu: Do you want to organize the sentence? Pay attention to the subject-verb-object complement.

"I don't think you're at fault for that incident! Not at all." Lou Yao finally made a big move, "I admire you very much in my heart."

He thought that the focus of this sentence was the second half of the sentence , but the girl in the car focused on the first half of the sentence.

Shao Shang's face suddenly sank: "What do you mean I'm not at fault, where did you hear what?"

Lou Yao was taken aback: "No, it's nothing... You took them off the bridge, you did the right thing, no Wrong..."

Shao Shang was startled, he propped up half of his body with force, his face tensed: "What nonsense are you talking about! Where did you hear that!" Apart from Mrs. Wan, no one else should see it, not to mention this person watching Not as smart either.

"I, after I sent Ahang away, I went back to find you and wanted to thank you..." Lou Yao looked at the girl in front of him with eyes like red flames, and was frightened to stutter, "But I didn't have a good idea of ​​what to say, so I just told you. After a while with you, seeing you, you pulled out a few bridge woods..."

Shao Shang collapsed.

Sure enough, the sky is not as good as the human, she is conceited and clever, but she does not guard against this omission. This young man should have been trained in martial arts, with light legs and feet, so she didn't notice when she followed behind.

Seeing that her face was ashen, Lou Yao quickly said: "Don't worry, I didn't tell anyone! Even my parents and close relatives won't tell me. If I say it, I will die immediately, and the sky will prove it!"

Shao Shang She was finally relieved, she knew that the people here valued the curse of oath very seriously, no less than the effect of going to the notary office for property notarization. Then, at least this secret will not be spread, and it will not cause trouble for the Wancheng family.

"I am young and ignorant, and I am ashamed for such a catastrophic disaster." Shao Shang's voice was low and pitiful, "To be honest, Young Master Lou, I am not suffering from a disease, but a torture rod by the family law. , was expelled from the capital, and ordered to repent."

Looking at her appearance, Lou Yao's heart softened, even his voice softened: "Don't be afraid, don't be sad. In my opinion, what's wrong with you in this matter? Yes, Wang Li deserves to suffer! But you were punished by your elders! How many times have you beaten the cane? Does it still hurt? I have some good medicine in my family, so I will bring it to you!"

Shao Shang secretly complained, take a Wool, take it, do you want the Cheng family team to wait for you to go home to get the medicine? ! But the voice pretended to be weak: "Then thank Mr. Lou, you can take it slowly, let's not pass it first."

The language of these words was a serious illness, but Lou Yao not only didn't hear it, but also laughed and wanted to retire, and finally remembered the most important thing before saying it, he stepped forward and said: "Master Shao Shang, I, I... The

young man was covered in sunshine and said firmly, "I want to marry you!" Although he had been engaged for more than ten years, this confession was once in his life.

Shao Shang was impatient, but after hearing this, the anger that he had managed to suppress rose up again, and he said sarcastically: "Marry me? Where is Mr. Lou's fiancee?"

Lou Yao hurriedly said: "She will be going this month. Marry someone! Ah, not marrying me! Marrying that Xiao Shizi!" Being repented of his marriage and still so happy, he also had a strong desire to survive.

Shaoshang sneered: "Young Master Lou's marriage contract was abandoned, so you came to tease me? You are deceiving people too much! Why, now that you have taken hold of my handle, you have nothing to fear? I tell you, the surnamed Lou, you want to Just say it, I will not be threatened by you!"

The young men and women in the market do not study and start a business, so what else can they do when they are bored. Although she was still young at the time, the oaths she had seen made it possible to make plans.

Gentle Ah Qiang said 'I love you', Ah Zhen moved in with him, although he dumped her and married someone else after N years;

cool Ah Gou said 'You are my woman', Ah Hua did it for him Abortion, N times, and later got riddled with all kinds of diseases, because she has never been married, and Shao Shang doesn't know if she can still be a mother;

A Biao, who is proficient in language arts, said, "Sooner or later, you will get married, what's the difference between yours and mine?" ', Ah Chun's working savings for many years have gone to the republic.

Mada bullies her without seeing the world! Shaoshang was furious: "How far do you give me! Marry me? Are you successful? Did your parents tell you, did you find the matchmaker, where is the betrothal gift, come to entertain me with empty teeth! Although the Cheng family is not as good as it is? You Lou family are splendid, but you won't be humiliated by this!...Mother Fu, Amei, come here! Find someone! Drive this disciple away!"

Lou Yao never dreamed that the girl would react like this, he concluded He stammered: "No, I, I really want to marry you...really...I already..."

Shao Shang didn't want to listen to his nonsense, so he pulled down the curtain. I only heard a clutter of footsteps outside, noisy voices, mixed with Lou Yao's defense, and then everything gradually disappeared, obviously Lou Yao was driven away.

She crouched down on the cushion and began to cry, she couldn't get through this day, everyone came to bully her!

After a while, Mrs Sang smiled and got into the carriage, with the hot towel handkerchief she had just twisted in her hand, wiping Shaoshang's face, and helping her apply the ointment herself. Sang's hands were cool and slippery, and Shao Shang felt very comfortable.

Shao Shang said embarrassedly: "I made my aunt laugh."

Sang said with a smile: "Don't worry, your uncle has already sent Mr. Lou away. But..." She was very interested, "Why don't you believe him?"

"Why do you want to ? Believe it?" Shao Shang was stunned, "Isn't it right that you don't trust me in advance?" That way you won't be hurt.

Sang Shi was stunned and smiled, "That's right."

Then she took out a small and exquisite green bamboo flute from her sleeve and handed it to Shaoshang, saying, "The journey is boring, let me teach you how to play the flute."

Shaoshang hesitated. "Didn't you just pass a piece of music from your eldest father's house a while ago, and found that besides your uncle playing the flute and playing the qin, you still need a flute to reconcile?" Actually, it was Mother Cheng who was embarrassing the Sang family and deliberately asked her to clean it. The former residence of the late Cheng Taigong.

Sang's face was stern: "Shun what is smooth, what is going! Can people in the same path communicate with each other and say that they are going to be smooth? Uncle Jun is in the spirit of the sky, so I am so happy to know that we will play his score! It's not good to learn the same."

Shao Shang had eaten the aunt's platoon, and hurriedly took the flute with a wry smile.

At this time, a long eagle roar suddenly sounded outside, and it rose through the air, like a sharp sword cutting through the dull sky. Sang hurriedly lifted the curtain of the car, and Shaoshang stretched his neck to look, only to see a vigorous and majestic goshawk soaring in the gray sky.

Shao Shang's eyes filled with joy: "I've never seen such a big eagle!"

Sang looked at the girl and the eagle that flew farther and farther: "Yes. You will see more in the future. ."

At this time, the driver's shouts and the strong orders of the Cheng family guards sounded again outside, and the convoy slowly set off.
