Clouds and Waters

The autumn wind is bleak again today.In the gray sky, there was a gloomy and murderous atmosphere.The gate of the Jingzhou General Military Mansion is tightly closed, and the double-lying stone lions have round eyes wide open, standing more and more proudly in the autumn wind, majestic and majestic.

business as usual.If there was anything unusual, it was the dead silence.Up and down the Yunfu, it was surprisingly quiet, even the noisy starlings were silent, as if they understood the master's mind.

There were two people standing in the outer hall of Yun Mansion.One is Yun Chenxiao, a young lady from the Yun family who is carefree and imposing, and next to her is a cool and elegant woman in a snow-colored white dress.This woman's eyes are clear, she stands dignifiedly, and she has a charm and strength that is not inferior to others.The two stood side by side, with tacit firmness and trust in their eyes, looking at the two people in the hall together.

The man on the main seat, with high crown and thick boots, and a robe with arrow sleeves, sat upright, with his thick eyebrows tightly locked, watching the woman in white.That eagle-like sharp eyes seemed to want to see through her.The girl under the hall, when she first appeared in front of him, made his already rock-solid heart unable to settle down anymore.She and her are so similar, so beautiful, so unworldly, as if all of a sudden, I went back to 18 years ago, those young, pure and beautiful days, the clear and bright sunshine, and her The melodious and melodious singing is still in my ears, endlessly...Suddenly, an electric current suddenly passed through the heart of Yunzheng Pavilion, and it turned into a thunderbolt that shook the sky and the ground in an instant, and it seemed to be sandwiched by a violent storm. Looking at this general who is fighting on the battlefield.In a blink of an eye, more than ten years have passed.The spring breeze can blow green the picturesque south bank of the river again and again, wake up the colorful flowers that have been sleeping all winter, and bring him back to the dream of youthful misty rain, but it still can't dye the white mustache back, and can't smooth the bruise on the forehead. wrinkle.

Sitting on the left side of Yunzheng Pavilion is Yunzheng Pavilion's current wife Li Wei.When the Yun family died, Li Wei was not spared from prison, and spent several months in prison with Yun Zhengting without seeing the sun.At this time, she was also a little bit haggard and thin, but there was still that dignified and loving tenderness between her brows, silently looking at the two children in the hall, with a faint smile on the corner of her mouth.

Shui Xinyou stood there in a daze, and Yun Zhengting's chaotic, sharp and slightly expectant eyes suddenly made her feel flustered, as if she had some kind of natural induction, her blood boiled, and she felt a little uncomfortable.But she didn't want to delve into whether Yun Zhengting's eyes had other meanings, but subconsciously looked at Yun Chenxiao.Yun Chenxiao understood her thoughts, nodded to her with a smile, and clasped her right hand.Strangely, Shui Xinyou, who was a little flustered and nervous at first, was suddenly calmed down by Yun Chenxiao's grip.The warm warmth coming from her hand seemed to remind her constantly: don't worry, I'm right by your side.

"Xiao'er," it was Li Wei who spoke first: "Who is this young lady next to you? Aren't you going to introduce me and your father?"

Yun Chenxiao raised her head and smiled, and met Li Wei's concerned and questioning eyes without any scruples, her brows had already changed into that lazy look of disdain, and said slowly: "Of course I want to introduce. But, as long as Dad knows It's fine, you know, I don't care." This guy's tenderness seems to only be shown when facing Shui Xinyou.To others, she only has this frivolous attitude of teasing and sloppy.

Li Wei's expression didn't change, she still had a pleasant smile on her face, and she just said in a flat tone: "Oh? Xiao'er is getting older, and she doesn't want me to know about her private affairs? Hey, let's just forget about it..."

Even though she tried her best to cover it up, there was still a bit of resentment and sadness beyond words.Yun Chenxiao's heart tightened when he heard this, and suddenly he felt a little uncomfortable.Since Li Wei came to Yun's house, she had never treated Yun Chenxiao badly, and even loved and cared for her more than her own children.It's not that Yun Chenxiao doesn't know this.She is gentle and kind, not as loving and intimate as her mother, nor does she have the respect and restraint of her elders, but more of a pampering and love like a sister.However, when people grow up, their hearts will change, and they are no longer as innocent as they were when they were young.No matter how much she relied on her when she was young, no matter how close she was, she was not her own mother after all. There was always a lack of a bond that could only be maintained by blood between them.Long-term hatred is not as good as water, waiting for waves to rise on the ground.No matter how hard Ren Liwei tried, the stubborn and indulgent Yun Chenxiao was finally unwilling to completely open up and accept her.Li Wei sighed softly, and leaned limply on the back of the chair.

Yun Chenxiao pouted, hesitated for a while, and then softly called "Second Niang", but still said in a frivolous and desolate tone: "Actually, Second Niang also needs to participate in this matter. Xiao'er will talk to you first." Please beg for mercy, and look at Erniang Haihan, I was impatient just now, don't..."

"How could it be!" Li Wei seemed to be encouraged by something, her whole face immediately beamed, and Yun Chenxiao lifted her spirits up with "second mother" and said with a smile: "You child, you are so rare talking to me like this..."

Yun Chenxiao took a deep breath, not being too lazy to entangle with her anymore, coughed dryly, seeing that her father was still in a daze, she couldn't help but dim again.Yun Zhengting seemed to realize something suddenly, silently withdrew his gaze, and said in a deep voice, "Xiao'er, you should also..."

"Daddy!"

Yun Chenxiao didn't wait for her father to finish her sentence, she pulled Shui Xinyou to her knees, and said in a steady voice, "Her name is Shui Xinyou, and she is my daughter's most beloved person in this life. My daughter has nothing else to ask for, but only my father's fulfillment. "

Yun Zhengting was already extremely confused, took the teacup in one hand, heard Yun Chenxiao's voice, but before he could react, he took a sip of tea, and said slowly: "You...what did you just say? Who is this child?"

"Master..." Li Wei's voice trembled slightly, and the eyes that looked at Yun Chenxiao gradually lost their luster, and they winked at her again and again.

Yun Chenxiao calmed down, took a few steps forward, and said again: "Father, your daughter is the one I love, Shui Xinyou, she is a woman just like me. Father, my daughter is not filial, please let me do it." .you said..."

"evil creature!"

Thunder's fury finally broke out.Yun Zhengting shattered the teacup in his hand, and the veins on his forehead bulged and pulsated, as if they might burst at any moment.

"Father..." Yun Chenxiao yelled bravely, and was about to speak, but Yun Zhengting interrupted her violently, the tall and mighty body trembling, pointed at Yun Chenxiao and laughed angrily: "Hehe, You are good, Yun Chenxiao, my good daughter! You can scare your father and me around. Okay, you can do it... So the so-called love of this life you said is this girl in white? You... Haha, Hahaha... You really deserve to be a good descendant of my Yun family!"

Yun Zhengting usually runs the army strictly, so he is naturally angry.Yun Chenxiao saw his father get angry a lot, he would pick someone up, or beat him with anger, but had he ever seen him like this?Yun Chenxiao was horrified, jumped up and stepped forward, trying to support Yun Zhengting.It's just that as soon as Yun Chenxiao touched his father's robe, Yun Zhengting flicked his hand and slapped his face.

Yun Chenxiao's cheeks seemed to be on fire, and a large area swelled up immediately.

Seeing this, Li Wei wanted to stop her, but Yun Chenxiao shouted loudly: "Leave me alone. This is between me and my father!"

A smile appeared on Yun Zhengting's livid face, he nodded and said, "My dear daughter, you are really making progress!"

Yun Chenxiao gritted her teeth, her stubborn eyes widened, but she didn't back down.

At this time, a gentle but firm voice from behind said: "Master Yun, Xiao'er has grown up, are you not happy?"

Yun Chenxiao looked back suddenly, and said softly in a hoarse voice: "You'er, don't make trouble!"

Yun Zhengting closed his eyes, unwilling to take another look at Shui Xinyou, as if one more look would break his will.After a long silence, he tried his best to suppress the burning flame and enthusiasm in his chest, and said in a cold tone: "I don't care who you are. Why don't you hurry up and get out of here?"

Sure enough, it was the general who commanded the three armies and commanded thousands of horses. Although his voice was low, he had an irresistible force of life and death.Anyone who hears this order will hang his heart and obey.However, she is not in the mood.She stood up suddenly, and said with a low smile: "Master Yun can control her for a while, can he control her for a lifetime?"

Yun Zhengting was taken aback for a moment, and panicked, carefully examining this proud and aloof woman in white.

Shui Xinyou approached Yun Chenxiao calmly, gently lifted her up, raised her hand to touch her swollen cheek, and said softly, "Does it hurt?"

Yun Chenxiao smiled, her cheeks were so swollen that she choked back halfway through her laughter, gasping for air with a "hiss" in pain.

Shui Xinyou looked at her reproachfully, and fearlessly placed a light kiss on Yun Chenxiao's red and swollen place, then wrapped her arms around her neck and said, "Idiot, I made you suffer again."

Yun Chenxiao couldn't help but be astonished at the close proximity, the audible closeness, and the lingering babble.In front of her father, in front of her stepmother, and all the servants in the house, Shui Xinyou, how resolute and calm this temperamental woman is.Yun Chenxiao's heart became hot, and without any hesitation, she kowtowed three times respectfully with tears in her eyes, then held Shui Xinyou tightly and said with her head raised: "Father, my daughter vows to spend this life with Shui Xinyou. I also hope Daddy Forgive my daughter for being unfilial!" After saying that, Shui Xinyou wanted to leave.

Yun Zhengting's surprise was no small matter, he was not only surprised by Yun Chenxiao's shocking emotions, but also by Shui Xinyou's audacity.Such a firm gaze, such a persistent belief, is really no different from that person.While Yun Zhengting was thinking, he heard someone shout loudly: "You'er!"

The voice was melodious and melodious, as if it came from beyond the sky, and it was transmitted to Yun Zhengting's ears, causing him to freeze in the distance, his body like a clay sculpture, unable to move for a moment, but his thoughts were flying and the waves were turbulent.

The rest of the people followed the sound and saw a beautiful woman, with long sleeves and a wide belt, with a graceful figure, walking towards the house in lotus steps.

When Shui Xinyou saw this person, she was a little startled, and greeted him with some hesitation, and said with a smile, "Master...you, why are you here? How do you know I'm here?"

The woman patted Shui Xinyou on the shoulder and said: "Silly girl, you are in Jingzhou, where else can you go besides being with her? Hey, you are so disobedient, how can I be at ease as a teacher? "

After hearing this, Shui Xinyou frowned slightly, and said with a reluctant expression: "Master, why didn't you ask the apprentice to stay with the puppy? Master has always been the most reasonable in doing things, but this time it is unclear Yes, how can I convince my apprentice?"

As soon as the words fell, Yun Zhengting stepped in front of Shui Ling first, stared at her for a while, the beard on his lips moved, but did not say a word.

Shui Ling sighed softly, pulled Shui Xinyou behind her to protect her tightly, and said with a wry smile: "Master Yun, this little disciple is unworthy and has caused you trouble. I will leave now, little girl." Zhengting glanced at him, tugged his sleeves, turned around and left.

Yun Zhengting stretched out his hand tremblingly to stop her, but he froze in the air just halfway through.Yun Chenxiao was even more suspicious, stepped forward, and was about to speak, when Yun Zhengting shouted: "Xiao'er, don't be presumptuous, come back!" After speaking, she slowly stood in front of Shui Ling, staring at her for a long time , forced a smile and said: "I haven't seen you in more than ten years, the second sister is still so young and beautiful, but I am a bad old man."

Shui Ling raised her eyes and glanced at Yun Zhengting disdainfully, then lowered her head again, and said coldly: "If Mr. Yun has nothing else to do, the little girl will..."

"Second Sister!" Yun Zhengting yelled heavily, panting through his nostrils and said, "Second Sister, I was also helpless about what happened back then. The situation was pressing at that time, and I..."

"Master Yun is serious! Shui Ling is a grassroots person, how can he have the right to talk about the old days with you, the big official of the frontier?" Shui Ling did not evade this time, his eyes were like a sharp knife, and he stabbed at Yun Zhengting, with resentment and old love in his heart, His fists were unconsciously clenched tightly.

Yun Zhengting felt guilty when she saw her, took a step back, and said calmly: "Second sister, I had a daughter with Cheng'er back then, didn't it..."

"Yun Zhengting, do you still have the face to mention Junior Sister?" Shui Ling shouted, the circles of his eyes turned red, and his voice changed slightly due to excitement.The word "Cheng'er" was like a fuse that completely ignited the resentment and resentment that had been suppressed in Shui Ling's heart for a long time.

"Cheng'er?" Yun Chenxiao repeated the name, seeming to have some impressions, but couldn't remember where he had heard it.But Shui Xinyou remembered it clearly, tugged at Shui Ling's sleeve, and said in a low voice: "Uncle? Uncle Yuancheng? What's wrong with her?"

Shui Ling came back to her senses, smiled at Shui Xinyou and said, "Well, You'er, don't bring up these old things again. Let's go..."

Yun Chenxiao has no time to think about the past of "Cheng'er", all her thoughts are on Shui Xinyou.Hearing that they were going to leave, she hurriedly followed and said, "Where are you going? Okay, let's go, let's go together!" As he spoke, he stepped forward to hold Shui Xinyou, and one foot had already stepped out of the gate.

However, Yun Zhengting seemed to have a plan in mind at this time, and said earnestly: "Xiao'er, once you go, there will be no way to turn back. Don't regret it in the future."

Yun Zhengting's tone at this time was surprisingly calm, full of concern and kindness.But this calm tone made Yun Chenxiao's heart tremble when he heard it, he turned his head abruptly, hesitated for a while, and finally couldn't match his father's cold and expressionless face, and fell to his knees with a plop, his eyes wet Said: "Father, Water Gate Master, you... you must have some grievances, but, but... your grievances are your business, why make things difficult for us? Is it really so difficult for you to fulfill us? We did something wrong What?" She seemed to be muttering to herself, her voice was low and weak, but she suddenly raised her head, as if she had found a savior, she ran to Li Wei, grabbed her skirt tightly, and said anxiously: "Second Mother, Daddy I love you the most, you will be able to convince Daddy, I beg you, I beg you..."

Li Wei frowned and sculpted her eyebrows, stretched out her hand to brush Fuyun Chenxiao's cheek, and was about to persuade her, but Yun Zhengting sternly shouted: "Xiao'er, you are wrong!"

Yun Chenxiao's eyes were loose, like a frightened deer, he raised his head in astonishment, staring at Yun Zhengting and talking without focusing.

"How can this matter be expressed clearly in terms of gratitude and resentment? This is really fate..." He paused, walked up to Yun Chenxiao, sighed and said, "I'll tell you a story, listen After finishing the story, decide whether you want to spend your whole life with... her. If you are obsessed with listening to the story, Dad will never stop you, let you go." After speaking, he took a complicated look at Shui Xinyou, Some incoherently asked Shui Ling: "Second sister, this child, she... is really Cheng'er's... Yes, I think she looks like her from the moment she came in, and after meeting you, I'm even more sure. You She's Cheng'er's senior sister, so she won't ignore her flesh and blood..."

Shui Ling's heart was squeezed tightly, she turned her face away and ignored Yun Zhengting, but took a deep look at Yun Chenxiao.Suddenly, her heart softened, a tender feeling appeared, as if she had found something familiar in Yun Chenxiao, it was something that haunted her and never forgot.After thinking for a long time, she finally agreed in a low voice: "Forget it, Yu'er and I will wait for you outside the city at this time tomorrow. But I'm afraid that you, you..." She managed to finish these few words, and then said no more. If you can't go down, pull up Shui Xinyou and leave.

Although Shui Xinyou didn't understand the grievances and entanglements between master and uncle and Yun Zhengting, he believed in Yun Chenxiao and the unforgettable feelings between them.She has always known that the spirit of water is as good as it is, and when she said that she would wait for Yun Chenxiao, she would definitely wait, so she was relieved and murmured to Yun Chenxiao: "Then I will wait for you, wait for you..." After saying that, without looking back, she went with Shui Ling, leaving only Yun Chenxiao standing there alone.After a while, she suddenly came back to her senses, and ran after him.

"Xiao'er!"

Yun Zhengting called her and said, "You really made a big mistake this time!"

Yun Chenxiao looked back in a daze and said, "Father, what exactly is this..."

"Hey..." Yun Zhengting sighed and said: "What a crime! Retribution, it's not that I didn't repay, the time has not yet come! Xiao'er, do you know who that Shui Xinyou is?"

Yun Chenxiao felt his mind was blank, but there was still a trace of clarity in the Lingtai. Hearing Yun Zhengting's question, his spirit suddenly lifted, and he said in a steady voice: "Shui Xinyou is the person I love the most. Father, daughter I would like to pay attention to so many ethics, I just simply like her, I just like her..."

Yun Zhengting laughed, and said with endless desolation: "It's not bad that you love her. It's a pity, you love her in the wrong way, so that heaven does not allow it!" He helped Yun Chenxiao up and stared at her every word. Suddenly said: "Xiao'er, let me tell you. Shui Yuancheng, she is my woman; that Shui Xinyou is my own flesh and blood with Cheng'er!"

Yun Chenxiao shivered suddenly, her ears were buzzing, she wished she would fall asleep right away, she wished that this was a dream, but she still heard her father's hoarse voice clearly: "She is your sister , your dear sister!"

Yun Chenxiao was terrified in his heart, and was stunned for a long time with his soul out of his body.When she regained her composure, she suddenly felt dizzy in her head, her feet were floating, and she couldn't stand steadily.Li Wei saw it clearly, stepped forward and took Yun Chenxiao's hand, but felt that it was cold, and couldn't help but yelled "Oops", and was about to pull Yun Chenxiao back.Unexpectedly, Yun Chenxiao's body tightened suddenly, and he looked up to the sky and laughed a few times, like a dragon roaring at the sea, and a goshawk hitting the sky, circling for a long time.This laughter is both solemn and indifferent, so that people can't hear sadness and happiness, but only feel shuddering.However, it was Yun Chenxiao's body that frightened Li Wei even more.Her hands were sometimes as cold as ice, and sometimes as hot as charcoal, changing rapidly, and the alternating hot and cold air kept gushing out, and each time became stronger, making Li Wei feel like falling into an ice cellar at one time, and at another time like entering a furnace of fire.

Li Wei desperately stretched out her arms to hug Yun Chenxiao, but Yun Chenxiao angrily shook off her hand, and said with red eyes, "You can say whatever you want. I don't care, I just want to be with you." Xiao You'er is together. I'll go to find Xiao You'er right away, I'll go to Xiao You'er, find her!" After speaking, he pulled himself together, took big strides, and walked away like a gust of wind.

Li Wei chased after a few steps, but how could she catch up?Anxiously turned around and shouted: "Master, just look at Xiao'er..."

Yun Zhengting waved his hands dejectedly and said, "Forget it, let her go. She doesn't understand now, but she will understand in the future."

"Master, do you really have the heart?"

"Be patient?" Yun Zhengting smiled and said, "No matter what Xiao'er does wrong, even if it hurts nature and justice, she will always be my most beloved daughter." He paused, took a deep breath, and thought in his heart "And she, she too! But, that child's face is cold and indifferent, but his heart is as fierce as fire, and he would rather bend than bend. Can she forgive my father?"
