C144 rebirth (2/2)
The old granny's home was very simple and crude, but her life seemed to be going well.
This was because the old granny had always been whispering in her ear about her filial grandson.
It was only when her grandson came back that Shang realized she was not lying.
Qiao Miaosheng was just like her father, an Elementary Scholar who had read a lot of poetry and was now a teacher.
Although he was quite knowledgeable, he wasn't pedantic at all. On the contrary, he was very quick-witted and knew how to amuse girls.
After just half a day of interaction, this man and woman had already developed a good impression of each other.
Under the witness of their mother-in-law, the two of them decided to spend the rest of their lives together.
Qiao Miaosheng would take her to the school where they were teaching and would let the children call her Mistress.
Hearing this, Li Shang was elated.
Everything was so beautiful. Her life was filled with light.
This was her truest feeling at the moment.
”Mistress, you are so beautiful.” A girl ran up to her, smiling.
There were many males and females in the academy, so this girl should have a good family background, which was why she had the right to study here.
”Thank you. What's your name?” Shang knelt down and gently caressed the girl's small head.
”My name is Begonia. I'm the Begonia that bloomed at night.”
With these words, Li Shang's smile froze on her face. Begonia, flower of the night …
Wasn't she, who was currently entertaining the guests at the Beauty Pavilion, a crabapple flower that bloomed only at night?
Actually, he really wanted to bring her out with him. Even if he had to lead a miserable life, he would be willing to do so.
However, some things were difficult to accomplish in one and thus many regrets were found.
Qiao Miaomiao treated Shang very well, leaving everything to her. After all, he had a beautiful wife, so how could he bear to treat her unfairly?
Meanwhile, Li Shang was a virtuous woman who revered the grandmother and kept the affairs of her family in order. The neighbors praised him.
The next time he saw Begonia was eight days after Shang left the Beauty Pavilion.
That day, the crabapple tree was wrapped in a veil, exposing only a pair of eyes.
”I hear you're having a good time.”
”Right.” Shang nodded, ”What about you?” Why did you come out? ”
In the past, she should have been receiving guests in her room at this time.
”I... ”Come out and play.” Shang could not see the smile on the flower.
The two women stared at each other in silence for a long time.
Actually, there were thousands of words in his heart. However, when he saw the real person, he realized that he couldn't say a single word.
”I'll leave this bell as a souvenir for you. I'm afraid we won't meet again in the future.” As the crabapple spoke, it took off the bell on its wrist.
Shang was stunned for a moment before he slowly extended his hand to receive it.
In his heart, he had been pondering over her words. It would be difficult to see her again in the future, what did this mean?
”I have to go back. Take care.”
Before Shang could ask, the flower had already turned around and left. She came and went in a hurry, just like the time when the two of them had just met.
Actually, judging from the back of Begonia's body, she had lost weight. Her eyes were no longer as lively as they were before. Not only that, they were still filled with endless emotions.
She, who treated receiving guests as a big matter, would also have times when her body was unable to endure. In her heart, it was certain that fatigue would arise.
Qiao Miaosheng walked over and placed his hand on her shoulder. ”Who is she?”
Only after seeing the two of them talking to each other did they come over to ask curiously.
”An old friend.”
