Jiang Xueying and Qiao Zhiyong, former lovers of qingmei bamboo horses, reunite again in the small temple where they were originally in love, and at that time they were already things and people.
Jiang Xueying has just died her husband, and in despair, she recalls her sweet love affair and wants to draw a little hope from it. And Qiao Zhiyong is happy to have a noble son, uneasy in happiness, and feels guilty about the lover who has failed.
The two people met unexpectedly in the small temple, and when Qiao Zhiyong arrived, he found Jiang Xueying unconscious in front of the Guanyin statue due to excessive grief, and he painfully carried Jiang Xueying into the carriage and hurried to seek medical treatment.
Halfway through, Jiang Xueying woke up in Qiao Zhiyong's arms, and she kissed Qiao Zhiyong mercilessly like a resurrection from the dead. Qiao Zhiyong also rationally refused, but in the end it was difficult to reach poor Jiang Xueying.
At that moment, they kissed passionately in the bumpy carriage. Jiang Xueying said eagerly, "Zhi Yong, take me away, I have no one but you." ”
Qiao Zhiyong responded gently.
However, they have no future, some are just indulgences of this moment.
Qiao Zhiyong could not give up his family, the responsibility on his shoulders and his grand ambitions. Sun Maocai appeared in time and stopped him: "Dongjia, the tea goods in Kyakhta are ready, waiting for you to go on the road!" ”
Jiang Xueying looked at the back of Qiao Zhiyong's departure, and all thoughts were gray. Originally, like a person about to drown, she saw the last bit of hope, but in an instant she was swept into the water by a huge evil wave. She said indignantly to Joe Zhiyong:
"You didn't come to that temple to see me at all, but for yourself, for your own comfort, right?" Qiao Zhiyong, you listen, I have always regarded you as a man, but today I look down on you, you are not a man at all, Qiao Zhiyong I hate you, Jiang Xueying hates you! ”
At this point, Jiang Xueying extinguished the last trace of tenderness in her heart for Qiao Zhiyong, and replaced it with full of resentment. A woman, once her heart is occupied by hatred, is very terrible.
1. Jiang Xueying gambled to marry into the He family
I think at the beginning, Qiao Zhiyong was a gentlemanly reader, if there was no family change, he should have taken the meritorious name, served the country outside, and Jiang Xueying added incense to his red sleeves inside.
However, his brother Qiao Zhiguang's business failed and was on the verge of bankruptcy, and because he could not bear the blow, he died soon after. The top beams and pillars of the family fell, leaving a mess, and the sister-in-law Cao Yuezhi was unable to clean up the mess, so she had to force Qiao Zhiyong, who had no intention of doing business, to take over the family affairs and business.
Faced with a huge deficit, the Qiao family can only turn the situation around if they raise enough silver. However, at this time, no one wants to borrow money.
In order to save the Qiao family, Cao Yuezhi forced Qiao Zhiyong to marry Lu Yuhan, the Qianjin lady of the Lu family, so that she could borrow silver from the wealthy Lu family.
The day before the wedding, Cao Yuezhi instructed Qiao Zhiyong to tell Jiang Xueying clearly, otherwise he would harm people for a lifetime.
That night, when Jiang Xueying went to the appointment, she was completely unaware of Qiao Zhiyong's marriage, and she had the dream of becoming intimate with Qiao Zhiyong, and she also specially brought her own red wedding dress and showed it to Qiao Zhiyong.
At that moment, Qiao Zhiyong couldn't say anything. He didn't know what to say, and he couldn't bear to watch his beloved lover face such a harsh reality.
When Jiang Xueying learned that Qiao Zhiyong had married someone else, she couldn't believe it and passed out. Although she was no longer willing, everything was a foregone conclusion.
Father Jiang repeatedly advised her to accept the He family's offer. She knew that the son of the He family was a big smoker, still sick, and there was no possibility of happiness in marrying. But the He family has money, Qiao Zhiyong marries someone else for silver, why can't she?
When Qiao Zhiyong learned of this, he was worried, but he could not dissuade him. His wife, Lu Yuhan, was kind and knowledgeable, and took a fox skin robe as a gift to persuade Jiang Xueying not to marry into the He family because of gambling.
Jiang Xueying said, "Lu Yuhan, if I marry into the He family and really make your man feel sorry for me for a lifetime, that is also his life." If he really hurts me for a lifetime, it is that I keep his heart, as long as I can keep her heart, I am willing to do anything. ”
It can be seen how paranoid and naïve Jiang Xueying is. She would rather bury her life and gamble on a man's heart. However, she overestimated her and Qiao Zhiyong's love and underestimated Lu Yuhan.
Lu Yuhan is beautiful, kind and wise, she saved the Qiao family, and also did her best to support Qiao Zhiyong's grand ambitions, she is not only a virtuous wife, but also a lucky star for Qiao Zhiyong.
In the face of such a love enemy, Jiang Xueying had no chance of winning at all. Even if Qiao Zhiyong missed her all his life, so what? Everything has changed.
Of course, it is also difficult to let go, and people who have not experienced it may not be able to understand the pain. But as an adult, it is irresponsible to fall and break the can.
2. Jiang Xueying began to take revenge, and who did the resentment in her heart poison?
Soon after Jiang Xueying married into the He family, her husband died. She was willing to be widowed, but there was no man, and the clan members of the same clan would try to get her out of the house for the sake of the family property.
The road ahead was long, and Jiang Xueying didn't know where to go, so she came to the small temple where she and Qiao Zhiyong had originally made love. Desperate to elope with Joe, she appears at the beginning of the article.
She had thought that if she married into the He family, she would let Qiao Zhiyong feel sorry for her, so that she could keep Qiao Zhiyong's heart. But seeing Qiao Zhiyong abandon her and leave, the little hope that supported her was also shattered.
She returned to the He family with resentment, pretended to be pregnant, and then secretly adopted a child from outside, and with her son, she inherited the huge family property of the He family.
In the face of the multitude of silver in the silver vault, she smiled miserably. She had enough silver to help Joe Zhiyong, but it was too late, and what was the use of her asking for so much silver.
The big Chinese New Year's Eve, the Qiao family is very lively, and the family is happy and harmonious. But Jiang Xueying was only one person, facing a table full of delicacies, she was tasteless. Desolate and lonely, overwhelming to her, she could not bear it, her heart was even more uneven, she felt that Qiao Zhiyong had harmed her like this.
She began to take revenge and personally sent Qiao Zhiyong to prison.
She thought she had won, and she wanted to take the posture of victory and see for herself what happened to Qiao Zhiyong. She sneaked a glimpse of Qiao Zhiyong, who was covered in scars, and stretched out her dirty hand to drink the rain that had leaked from the prison. At that moment, she was still distressed and fled in a hurry.
In the end, it was she who secretly took out 3 million taels of silver to save Qiao Zhiyong from the big prison. After that, she spent a lot of money to dismiss the people who handled it, as if it had never happened.
However, everything cannot go back to the past. Although Qiao Zhiyong saved his life, he was imprisoned by the imperial court for twenty years. For twenty years, he could not fight for a career, he could only pretend to be sick, like a walking corpse, and his dream of being full of goods could only find someone else to help him realize.
And Jiang Xueying became more and more twisted, making people shudder, and the servants in the family were afraid of her, and even The Yahuan Cui'er, whom she regarded as a sister, did not want to stay by her side anymore.
Cui Er is going to marry a guy next to Qiao Zhiyong. Jiang Xueying, worried that Cui'er would tell her about her harm to Qiao Zhiyong, prepared a package of poison and wanted to poison Cui'er when she got married. Fortunately, at the last moment, she did not go down.
Resentment made Jiang Xueying so vicious and twisted. She takes revenge and softens her heart, and lets us see her pain, her inner entanglement, her tearing left and right. And she spent the rest of her life trying to digest the pain, tearing the wound and then suturing herself in pain. Her scars must have been shocking!
Jiang Xueying ruined the rest of his life in vain, how sad, how worthless!
3. Final relief
Years later, Qiao Zhiyong sent away his deceased wife, Lu Yuhan, and fell asleep alone in a recliner. Jiang Xueying walked in trembling, "snapped" a slap on Qiao Zhiyong's brain door, and when she saw Qiao Zhiyong wake up, she smiled and said, "Bugs! ”
This scene gives people a feeling of quiet good years, as if they are back to the past, so intimate, so natural. Decades of wind and rain, decades of resentment, as if they did not exist.
However, when bidding farewell, Qiao Zhiyong solemnly gave Jiang Xueying a kneel, and he said: "In my life, Qiao Zhiyong has lived up to the Great Qing Dynasty and the Qiao family, and the only thing I am sorry for is you." ”
Jiang Xueying poked him with a crutch and smiled relievedly.
Qiao Zhiyong was lying on the ground, saw a small insect, after several struggles could not turn over, he gently helped the insect, the insect crawled to his fingers. Then he lay on the ground and closed his eyes forever.
I was thinking, Jiang Xueying is more like that insect, the disillusionment of love knocked her to the ground, and since then she has struggled in resentment, suffering from turning over, and has wasted her whole life on it.
Sometimes we have to admit that in some things we are as fragile as bugs, as ignorant as we are, as small as we are, as powerless as we are. But we still live out what people look like.
As Fu Seoul said: "We have such a deep and dark corner in our hearts, but we all chose to be a good person in the end, and this is where human nature shines the most." ”
So, I would like to say that Jiang Xueying is stupid, twisted, but also sparkling, although this light has been obscured by darkness for a long time!
