Chapter 103: Zhang Jiangnan
Chapter 103: Zhang Jiangnan
Bai Qingran still remembers what Gu Li said at that time: "Father's hands are very rough, not at all delicate like your son's. There are cracks, but it is very warm, as if after being picked up by my father, I will not be afraid of anything, well, it was also that night."
The night that Gu Li mentioned was the night of the scholar's wedding. Father Bai took little Gu Li by the hand into the room, coaxing little Gu to leave with his soft words, and took all his little toys with him. Take him back to see grandpa.The little Gu Li blinked his dark round eyes, with neat and cute bangs like a little girl on his forehead. He stared at Father Bai with big eyes for a while and then nodded obediently. Father Bai looked at Gu Li's face. With a well-behaved and cute appearance, he couldn't help but reached out and touched little Gu Li's soft hair, and gently embraced Gu Li's small body into his arms. How could he complain? good gift.Even if he was asked to exchange this crippled life, he was willing to do so.
Father Bai took little Gu Li to sort out a few packages that were not too big. Father Bai told little Gu Li to bring all his toys, but little Gu Li was so stubborn that he didn't take any of them. He hugged a handmade doll that his father sewed for him very tightly, and his dark eyes were full of firmness. Even Bai's father was taken aback by him. Bai Qingran also asked Gu Li why he didn't take those things away. Li just smiled and said that he disliked that man's stuff.In fact, Gu Li was more than disgusted, he didn't even take a few of those gorgeous little clothes, and Father Bai simply packed a few winter clothes and some entanglements.In the end, he put those small parcels on the bed. Father Bai himself felt ironic. For half his life, he did not hesitate to break up with his family, and he did not hesitate to stay away from the hometown he had never left. People set foot on this distant capital, and now think about how ridiculous and unforgiving it is.If it was given to the current self, I am afraid that he will never have the courage to accumulate such a strong feeling at this time, and then be lonely and courageous to hand in a love that he has never met before.
He didn't want to, and didn't dare to.
After tidying up, Father Bai called little Gu Li to the desk, unfolded a piece of light yellow rice paper by himself, picked up the Langhao pen, dipped it in the ink that little Gu Li had just polished, and pressed down on the somewhat damp rice paper. Father drew a pen and left his farewell to the scholar and his entire youth on the paper. The little Gu Li only felt that under the dim and warm candlelight, his father's face was so warm and beautiful. It was full of tenderness that he couldn't see, as if the warm spring breeze from ten miles mixed with drizzle had moistened a peach forest.As for what was written on the paper, little Gu Li couldn't see anything, he just remembered a sentence that he seemed to know at the time, it seemed to be called Sui Sui Ping An, and Gu Li didn't know why he wrote this sentence , Is it the father who wants to say Happy New Year to someone?
In fact, what Gu Li didn't know was that Father Bai's words said, I hope you will be safe every year, and I will never see you again.
This short sentence seems to have combined all the tenderness, reluctance, resentment, and entanglement that Father Bai had towards the scholar, and in the end it was only exchanged for one sentence that never disappeared.Father Bai's heart, no matter how it was hurt, still retains the most pure and beautiful things, or it is said to be very kind and long-lasting, so long-lasting that it makes people feel helpless, as long as you are still safe, that is the best Well, there is no need for us to meet again.
After leaving this letter, Father Bai took Gu Li, who was only a few years old at the time, with a few scattered packages and left the place where Father Bai had been trapped for half his life. Some are just the young master of the Bai family who is in full bloom.Even when he left the scholar's mansion, Father Bai felt extremely relaxed, as if all the unwillingness, reluctance, and entanglement in the past disappeared completely with the melting snow, and the snow was still on Father Bai's thin shoulders. Melting, and all the stories are still going on.
Later, Father Bai brought little Gu Li back to Jiangnan, but when he arrived in Jiangnan, Father Bai felt a little frightened after a long absence. At the beginning, he broke up with the family so cleanly because of the scholar, and even made Master Bai so angry that he almost passed his anger. In the end, it was the old man Bai who grabbed the long mahogany cane and beat the young father out of the Bai family compound in a rage. In fact, the father knew in his heart that the old man still loved his little son from the heart, so he didn't say anything about himself. From childhood to adulthood, his food and clothing expenses are the most outstanding among all the children in the mansion, that is, when Father Bai was about to elope with the scholar, although the old man looked scary with a crutch, in fact the stick The waving was frightening, in fact, few wavings hit him at all.In the end, when Father Bai really cried and begged Mother Bai in front of Mother Bai, even though Mother Bai still had a stubborn expression on her face, but in fact, when Father Bai really packed a small package and wanted to elope with the scholar, After walking out of the south of the Yangtze River, I found that there were a lot of silver notes and jewelry in my small package. I didn’t even put a lot of gold jewelry in order to prevent him from getting tired. They were all piles of large-denomination silver notes. Father Bai, who had lost his childishness, looked at the bag of banknotes, his round rabbit eyes turned red, and he lay in the scholar's arms and cried till his nose burst into tears.
Thinking about it now, I regret it very much. How could I have been dazzled by that inexplicable love at that time, and put this old man who loved him so much since childhood in Jiangnan, and I was so selfish that I followed that scholar to the capital.Now stepping on this warm and familiar land again, feeling the cold wind with a little bit of dampness, Father Bai actually felt a little bit sour. After wandering around for half his life, he finally returned home.
It's just that this Baifu is not as peaceful as it was when Bai Fusheng just left, it can even be said that the sky has changed.Later, Bai Fusheng found an old man who was working in the White Mansion. Bai Fusheng almost didn't recognize that old man because of his skinny appearance. When he was still the young master of the Bai family in the mansion, the old man was not too rich, but At least his body is still strong, and he doesn't have the shriveled look he has now.From the old man's mouth, Bai Fusheng learned what happened when he left Jiangnan in the past few years.
