Rebirth of the Great Power

Chapter 113 Frustrated Person

The Baiyu Tower in the early morning can be regarded as deserted, after a night of hustle and bustle, most of the girls are catching up on sleep, and the maids and boys are all light-hearted in their work.

During the day, Baiyulou never entertains guests, but Fan Yi is not a guest either, at least not a guest of Baiyulou.Maybe it's the emotional sympathy, maybe it's the sympathy in chess, coupled with Fan Yi's bohemian and Lu Yi's frankness, the two of them are very close.In the first few times when Fan Yi came to Baiyulou to meet Luyi, the bustard once suspected that Fan Yi was Luyi's lover.

A leading girl like Luyi is very popular in Baiyulou, even the bustard has to be a bit lower in front of her.Therefore, as long as Luyi can continue to earn money for Baiyulou, the building doesn't care who she associates with or gets close to.

Fan Yi never came to look for Luyi at night, either out of respect or to avoid suspicion.But it has never been like today, appearing in Baiyulou at dawn.

Lu Yi invited Fan Yi to sit in the tea room in the outhouse, refilling him with tea and saying, "Mr. Fan didn't seem to sleep well last night."

Fan Yi twitched the corners of his mouth, and said listlessly: "It can be regarded as a sleepless night." Looking up at her, "Miss Luyi seems to be a little haggard too."

Luyi smiled incredulously: "Baiyulou sings every night, isn't it normal that you can't sleep peacefully at night?"

Fan Yi said, "It's more than that."

Lu Yi picked up the teacup and blew gently, took a sip, and said, "Mr. Fan, do you want to say that the reason why I can't sleep is actually similar to Mr. Fan."

Fan Yi smiled wryly: "Before you told me that Yun Zhi said that he already had someone in mind. I thought he said it casually in order to reject you."

Luyi shook her head slowly: "Mr. never speaks in vain. If he says there is, then there must be. He will not make up anything just to reject someone. I just never thought that Mr.'s ideal person is so high." The person who climbs."

Fan Yi smiled: "I might as well know him better than you."

Luyi comforted: "Maybe it's just because you haven't seen it with your own eyes, or heard what Mr. said with your own ears."

"Have you seen it?" Fan Yi asked suddenly.

"Who?" Lu Yi didn't respond for a while.

Fan Yi said: "That's the one, King Xin."

Lu Yi shook her head again: "Although I have been in Beijing for many years, I have never been lucky enough to meet him. I have heard many stories about him, or -- legends."

Fan Yi said: "In the legend, what kind of person is he?"

Lu Yi laughed: "Mr. Fan has never heard of King Xin? Even if he is not in Beijing, there should be many rumors about him among the people."

Fan Yi rubbed his nose: "Occasionally, I have heard a few ears, but I have never paid attention to it. I only know that he is a very powerful person."

Luyi said seriously: "The word "great" is not enough to describe it. Probably in the eyes of most people, he is a person who always looks up to him and respects him whenever he mentions it."

Fan Yi couldn't help but said: "It's unbelievable that such a high-ranking person would want to marry a man, or the married party. What exactly does he think?"

Lu Yi pondered for a while, and said slowly: "I can't guess what King Xin thinks. I only know that if I can get Mr.'s sincerity, I will give everything in exchange, and I will be willing."

After drinking half a cup of tea, Luyi asked again: "Speaking of which, there is a reason for my admiration for Mr. Fan. Why did Mr. Fan..." After a pause, he continued, "If it's inconvenient, it's fine not to talk about it."

Fan Yi smiled wryly: "It's not inconvenient, but I can't tell where it started. For more than 20 years, I have been resentful because of some past events, and I feel that everything in this world is so unfair. , only Go is a pure land. However, even in this pure land, there are all kinds of filth. I have always regarded myself very high, and I feel that there are few chess players of the same generation in the world. However, for the first time When I saw Yun Zhi's chess in the clear space, I couldn't help being a little shocked, and for the first time I had a strong desire to meet this chess player.

"When I first met Yunzhi, he didn't know that I was Fan Shixuan, and I didn't know that he was Mu Yunzhi. He took the risk and insisted on extending a helping hand to me, a stranger, to testify for me. When I knew that he was When Mu Yun was straight, there was a feeling in my heart. We played a few games of chess in Yangzhou, which made me feel the excitement and happiness of meeting my opponent. Later, he went to Beijing, and I continued to go to my Jianghu. But, after parting During those days, I would always think of him. He was a sincere and pure person that I had never met before. Later, when I heard about the challenge from the Fusang Mission, I couldn’t wait to return to the capital. It's a place I haven't set foot in for more than ten years. It's not so much my curiosity about the chess game, but it's more because I want to see Yunzhi, and I want to play chess with him again, for the rest of my life.

"In fact, I don't have any further ideas. I am very satisfied to be a lifelong friend. However, when I suddenly heard the news that he was given a marriage yesterday, what I thought in my heart was: If the man can, Why can't it be me? However, it's too late!"

Lu Yi was silent for a while after listening, and then said: "Sir, don't you know?"

Fan Yi shook his head, and said with a smile: "I can see that Yun Zhi is as sensitive in Go as he is insensitive in emotion. It is Lu Yi whose love for him is so obvious that anyone with a discerning eye can see it , but if I don’t tell the truth, I’m afraid he still doesn’t realize it. I don’t know how the King of Faith enlightened him.”

Fan Yi looked at Lu Yi, with some apology in his eyes: "It's all my fault, you didn't intend to let him know, if I hadn't talked too much, you don't have to try to avoid getting along with Yun Zhi as much as possible now."

There was a bit of bitterness in Lu Yi's faint smile: "I'm not trying to avoid suspicion. Mr. is open-minded in his heart and treats me as before. It has not changed. It's just that I feel sad and I can't see him for the time being. In my heart, although I know that there is little hope, I once hoped that my husband would respond to my wishes. If not, it’s okay to be rejected clearly. It’s just that I’ve always lacked some courage, so it’s okay if you break the news for me. Although my husband rejected my affection, he didn’t Rejecting me, he treats me as a friend and sincerely cares about me. He is a firm yet gentle person. How lucky to be able to get his sincerity and wholeheartedness. It's a pity that neither you nor I are the one who was rejected favored people."

Fan Yi laughed twice, and raised his teacup: "Tea instead of wine, I respect you and me, two frustrated people."

Lu Yi raises his glass to drink.

Fan Yi sighed, and joked: "We are both frustrated people in Tianya, if you still can't let go in the future, why don't I take you out of here, and we have the right to comfort each other."

Lu Yi narrowed her brows, lowered her eyes and said lightly: "I admire Mr., although I have never been accepted, I have never felt pain, because this is my own business. Mr. is not just a favorite to me. People. Therefore, I don't need comfort, and no one can replace it. It is a kind of blasphemy to my husband, to me, and to this affection."

Fan Yi put away his smile, raised his eyebrows and said seriously: "I made a slip of the tongue."

Luyi smiled: "I know that Mr. Fan just said something but didn't mean it, and he wouldn't take it to heart."

Fan Yi said: "The words of consolation are indeed unintentional. I want to take you out of here, but I am sincere."

Luyi blinked, lowered her head and lowered her voice, said with some pride: "I've almost saved enough money to leave here." Sitting upright, she said again, "Don't worry, I have my own plans. "

Fan Yi nodded: "If you need help, just ask."

Lu Yi responded with a good voice.

After brewing a pot of tea again, Luyi said again: "Will Mr. Fan stay in Beijing?"

Fan Yi said: "After the year, I want to leave Beijing for a walk elsewhere. It's just to relax. I'll come back when Yunzhi gets married."

Lu Yi took a sip of tea, and explained: "Go somewhere else, and dispatch some."

Fan Yi smiled: "Are you worried about me?"

Luyi also smiled: "Luyi thinks that as a friend, he has the qualifications."

Fan Yi smiled quite happily: "Naturally. Don't worry, I'm used to being free and easy, and there is nothing I can't let go of. Besides, the result now is not different from what I originally imagined. It's you, you have to do it earlier Just let it go."

Luyi lowered her eyes, staring at the light green tea color in the cup, and curled her lips: "Do whatever you want."

Some things, how can it be said that you can let go of them?What's more, some people, even if they keep it in their hearts, there is nothing wrong with it.

A few days later, Hongling came looking for Luyi with a dazed expression. Luyi pulled her into the room, pressed her on the chair, and asked with concern: "What did Cheng Daizhao tell you? My sister is so lost?"

Cheng Shiyuan came to the building today, and he didn't stay for a long time like in the past, he only stayed in the Hongling room for a cup of tea before leaving.

Hong Ling said in a daze: "Sanlang said that he wanted to take me back to Cheng Mansion, and asked me if I would like to."

Luyi took her hand: "How did my sister answer?"

Hong Ling was stunned, and suddenly shed tears, choked up and said: "My sister knew it a long time ago, my sister has been looking forward to this day for a long time. Now I still feel like I am in a dream."

Lu Yi held her in her arms, took the handkerchief and gently wiped her tears away, and said in a low voice, "This is a good thing, why are you crying?"

Hong Ling rubbed against her arms and shook her head slightly: "My sister doesn't understand, my sister is afraid, afraid that this is just a dream, afraid that Saburo is just talking to coax me."

Luyi smiled lowly and said: "Sister Cheng Daizhao knows better than sister, how could he coax you with such things."

"I know Saburo won't. Saburo also said that he will give me a title and won't let me follow him for nothing. He also said that he can't guarantee that there won't be a wife in the mansion in the future, but he will protect her no matter what. Look at me, don't let me be wronged." Hong Ling's tears brought a little longing, "Actually, as long as I can be by Sanlang's side, it's nothing to be wronged. I know that with my background, where is a place like Chengfu? You can tolerate me, but I can't bear Saburo."

Lu Yi took her hand: "Sister, don't underestimate yourself. Although we come from humble backgrounds, it's not our choice, and it shouldn't be our fault. My sister is worthy of Cheng Sanlang in terms of appearance, temperament, and talent. "

Hongling smiled through tears, pulled Luyi and said emotionally: "It would be great if I could be as confident as my sister."

Luyi touched her head: "When you enter Cheng's house in the future, you are not allowed to say such unambitious words. If you want others to think highly of you, you must first think highly of yourself. Look up, we have nothing to be inferior to others. Cheng Sanlang If he is a good match, my sister will follow him; if one day he betrays you, you still have my sister and me, so you don't have to compromise."

Tears welled up again, Hong Ling said: "The luckiest thing for my sister is that I can meet my sister here. Without my sister's protection, my sister might never meet Saburo at all, let alone get out of the sea of ​​suffering." One day. It’s just that if my sister is gone and my sister wants to get away, it will be even more difficult.”

Lu Yi smiled: "Sister, don't worry, my sister has plans. It's nothing more than money. My sister has saved almost all these years. If my sister is still here, I would feel a little worried about leaving."

Hong Ling nodded: "If the building collects the money and still doesn't release the person, my sister will go and beg Sanlang. Even if Sanlang is just waiting for an edict, Erlang, the eldest son of the Cheng family, is an important minister of the imperial court."

Lu Yi nodded her forehead, and said with a smile: "You have not yet entered the mansion, and you have begun to show off your husband's prestige."

Hong Ling said softly: "Sister, you are laughing at him again."

Lu Yi laughed and said: "Okay, my sister is wrong, and I will have to rely on my sister and brother-in-law to take care of me in the future."

The two laughed and quarreled for a while, and Hong Ling said earnestly: "Sister, don't blame my sister for talking too much. That Chief Mu is about to become the king's husband now, and my sister should let go of it earlier and find another good match. My sister thinks, then Mr. Fan, who often comes to look for his sister, looks very good."

Lu Yi laughed: "Sister, don't mess with the mandarin ducks, and don't worry about my sister, I have my own plans. In fact, it is not necessary to find a lover in order to live a lifetime. If it is not the one I want , There is nothing wrong with being alone. Now the building is fairly peaceful, I want to stay for a few more months, save more money, and it will be more convenient after I leave."

"Sister." Hong Ling hesitated to speak, with disapproval and worry in her eyes.

Lu Yi smiled and comforted, "Don't you believe my sister?"

"Of course not." Hong Ling couldn't refute for a while, and could only say, "Anyway, if my sister needs it in the future, my sister will always be there."

Green Yi smiled and said yes.Xindao, for you and my sister, it is very good that one of them can get what he wants.
