Chapter 640: Persuasion
(Went out and rushed a chapter two in one.) )
"Young Master Lin?" Bai Bing and Qin Xiaoxiao exclaimed in surprise, Bai Bing's first reaction was that he was afraid that Lin Jue had heard the conversation just now, and his face suddenly burned and he didn't know what to do.
Qin Xiaoxiao was surprised at first, but quickly recovered, and said with a smile: "Young Master Lin, why are you here, people are scary and scared to death, you scared us." When did you get here? ”
Lin Jue said with a smile: "As soon as I arrived, Miss Zheng and Miss Qian said that you and Miss Bai were talking in the back garden, and I came." I couldn't see anyone around, so I thought maybe it was by the pond. No, just a probe, almost scared me. I scared you, but you scared me. ”
Qin Xiaoxiao chuckled, "That's not ours." Is there something wrong with Lin Gongzi coming to me? ”
Lin Jue said: "I'm here to find the white girl." ”
"Oh?" Qin Xiaoxiao didn't feel embarrassed at all, but was very happy in her heart: "Sister, Lin Gongzi is coming to you." ”
Bai Bing's voice was cold: "What is Lin Gongzi looking for me?" ”
Lin Jue walked down slowly, stood on the bluestone steps and said with a smile: "The white girl doesn't say goodbye, it's difficult for me to be at peace in my heart." In the past ten days, I have been asking around for news of the girl. I guessed that the girl should come to congratulate your sister on her debut today, and sure enough, I guessed it. I'm here to apologize to you. ”
"Apologies...... There's nothing to apologize for, what do you have to apologize for? Bai Bing said coldly.
"That Night......"
"Mo said, Mo Ti what happened that day, I ...... I've forgotten about it. Bai Bing hurriedly interrupted, his face burning badly. I drank too much wine that day, and when I woke up, I learned everything from Qianqian's mouth, and when I heard Qianqian say that she was naked and hugged Lin Jue and was seen by many people, Bai Bing quickly packed up her things and left. She couldn't stay in the Lin family anymore. As soon as she thought of being entangled with Lin Jue naked, she was ashamed to death. How can I see people again? I had to walk away.
In the past ten days, she has lived in a small remote inn and hidden, but her heart is quite unstable. Thinking of Lin Jue's appearance countless times in her mind, she settled down and thought about it carefully, and then she realized that she seemed to be in love with Lin Jue. This matter is very abrupt, and I actually haven't had much contact with Lin Jue, but love is often so unreasonable. It just came so suddenly. Recalling every bit of his relationship with Lin Jue, Bai Bing felt both shy and sweet.
At the age of eighteen, it is the time of Shaohua, and when you are pregnant with spring, this psychological stage is inevitable. Every teenager and girl of this age will have a hazy impulse, as long as the opportunity fits, everything will fall into place. For a girl like Bai Bing, the performance is even more extreme. Because she has been growing up in Mobei, she has never been in contact with young men since she was a child. When a handsome young man like Lin Jue and a person with the courage to take responsibility appear in his life, even if it is just a small spark, it will burst into flames. Bai Bing didn't know when the sprout of love in his heart broke the ground, maybe he was impressed by Lin Jue's courage during the life-and-death competition that day. Or maybe it was a moment during the long conversation on that moonlit night. Or on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, when he was held in his arms by Lin Jue. In short, no matter when there was the sprout of love, Lin Jue had already left an indelible shadow in Bai Bing's heart.
Realizing this made Bai Bing both happy and panicked. The master once forced her to swear a poisonous oath that she would never have any entanglement with any man in her life. Otherwise, the master would have killed the man. Bai Bing had already wavered about whether to stay, but she knew that once she stayed, she would inevitably fall into emotional entanglements. That would actually kill Lin Jue. Master Kang's life stayed in the Central Plains, and he may only be punished by himself. But I fell in love with a man, and that man was going to be unlucky. So Bai Bing made up his mind to leave overnight after coming to bid farewell to his sister today, and never came back.
"What happened that night? What day did it happen? Lin Gongzi, what did you do to my sister-in-law? You won't be ...... Oh, Lin Gongzi, did you bully my sister? You are responsible......" Qin Xiaoxiao deliberately shouted beside him.
Bai Bing blushed and shouted, "Sister, what are you talking about?" ”
Lin Jue said softly: "Miss Xiaoxiao, can I say a few words to Sister Ling alone?" If you have any questions, ask me again, and I'll give you an answer. ”
Qin Xiaoxiao subconsciously wanted to refuse, but suddenly felt that this was a good thing. Doesn't the girl like Lin Jue? Wouldn't it be nice to have the two of them alone for a while and talk? Don't delay yourself, maybe there will be a turnaround.
"Okay, you talk, you talk. I'll go up first. Sister, say a few words to Lin Gongzi. I'm leaving. Qin Xiaoxiao jumped ashore as she spoke, and the footsteps gradually faded away.
Lin Jue walked towards Bai Bing and arched his hand: "White girl, Lin Jue apologizes to you." You shouldn't have been allowed to drink so much liquor that night, and it turned out to be ...... Something bad happened, which damaged the girl's reputation. Lin Jue sincerely apologizes here. ”
Bai Bing's face was fiery red, but fortunately, it was pitch black in the dark shadows under the lotus leaves, and no one could see it at all, otherwise she was afraid that she would have to turn around and leave immediately.
Bai Bing calmed down, and tried his best to say in a calm tone: "That's none of your business, I was reckless, in fact, my alcohol consumption is not as good as I imagined." Drunk, foolish, and disgraced my people also cause disharmony in your home. It's me who should apologize. ”
Lin Jue smiled: "What are you apologizing for?" It's not your fault. However, as hard as it is to say, there is one thing I must clarify. This one...... I don't know what to say? ”
Bai Bing said: "Then don't say it." ”
Lin Jue waved his hand and said, "I have to say, otherwise you will think that I am a disciple and have done something bad." Nothing really happened that night. You're drunk, I'm drunk, we're just ...... I slept drunk until dawn. Maybe it's because it's cold at night, and we're ...... Hugged each other. Your clothes...... It's not that I took it off, I ......"
"Don't say it, don't say it, I believe it, I believe it." Bai Bing was so ashamed that he couldn't wait to find a crack to drill down, this person actually wanted to explain such things clearly, how could he say this clearly? I also know that nothing has happened, and my body is still used by others?
Lin Jue stopped, was silent for a long time, and said softly: "Then ...... Is the girl still up her mind to leave? ”
Bai Bing nodded and said, "Yes, I'll leave tonight." I've been delaying for too long, and there will be a snowstorm in the north at the end of October, and I have to rush back to Mobei before the blizzard. ”
Lin Jue said: "This is the final decision, right?" Can't change it? ”
Bai Bing paused, nodded and said, "Yes, the final decision, I have already said goodbye to my sister." You are here, and I will also say goodbye to you by the way, and I will be grateful to you for taking care of my sister more in the future. ”
Lin Jue frowned and said softly, "What if...... Shall I ask you to stay? Not for any reason, not for any reason, it's just that I, Lin Jue, ask you to stay, stay here? Do you still want to go? ”
Bai Bing was stunned and looked up at Lin Jue. In the darkness, Lin Jue's expression was not clear, but his starry eyes shone brightly, as if piercing this deep shadow. Bai Bing was stunned and thought, "Am I really leaving?" If he wants me to stay. But I hurt him by staying, I can't hurt him. But am I really going to reject him? ”
"White girl, let me tell you a story." Lin Jue said softly: "There is a person, he is very good. He is empathetic and always takes care of other people's ideas. He would rather suffer his own losses than let others down. So, the people around him like to ask him for help. There are many things he doesn't want to do, but in order to take care of other people's emotions and make others happy, he will force himself to do it. Year after year, decades passed, when he was sick and dying, when he lay in bed, he thought about his life. Suddenly, he realized that he hadn't done even a single thing in his life according to his heart. ”
After a pause, Lin Jue said softly, "Do you know what the one thing he regrets the most?" When he was young, he fell in love with a girl, but a friend of his fell in love with this girl and asked him to be a matchmaker, and he couldn't refuse, so he agreed for the sake of his friend's liking. In a fit of rage, the girl married his friend. And he was alone in old age. Before he died, he recalled that there was nothing he was willing to do and what he liked to do, it was that he suppressed himself and fulfilled others. As a result, others are happy, but they are not happy at all. He hasn't done a single thing in his life that makes him happy. He regretted it so much, he scolded his original decision, he thought, if there is an afterlife, he will not be so confused again, he wants to live his life. However, there is no regret medicine in the world. The theory of the afterlife is only false, and a person dies like a lamp going out, and he dies silently. When others mentioned him, some said he was a good man, while others said he was a fool. Soon after, he was completely forgotten. ”
Lin Jue finished the story and looked at Bai Bing quietly. Bai Bing said softly: "How can there be such a stupid person in the world? How can there be such a person? ”
Lin Jue said: "This is a story, naturally it may not be true. But if there really is such a person, then how miserable his life must be. The white girl must not want to be such a person, does she? ”
Bai Bing frowned and said, "You mean, I'm this kind of person?" ”
Lin Jue said: "If the white girl doesn't change, I'm afraid she will become this kind of person." If the white girl leaves here this time and returns to Mobei, in a few decades, when you are old, you will regret it as much as this kind of person when you look back on your life. You will find that you are not doing a single thing that your heart desires and enjoys. ”
Bai Bing shouted, "How could I be like this kind of person. ”
Lin Jue said: "How is it different? You like the Central Plains and like to be reunited with your sister, but you don't dare to stay. Because you are afraid that your master will be unhappy and that you will live up to your master's expectations. You can stay here, but you're still afraid that your master will be unhappy. I'd rather stay in the deserted desert north for the sake of your master's pleasure. You wasted your years and wasted your youth, just to make your master happy. Will you be able to make a decision for yourself in this life? Can you follow your heart? If you can't do that, you'll be just as pitiful as the people in the story. When you die of old age in the future, you will regret what you missed in this life. You have only survived the silence in the desert. The living is like an ant, and the dead are like an ant. ”
"Say no more!" Bai Bing screamed in fright, the scene depicted by Lin Jue was too terrifying, dying silently, without any trace in his life, this was really a terrifying scene.
"It's scary, isn't it? The world is so wonderful, but it has nothing to do with you, are you willing? And to reverse it all, all it takes is one decision on your part. As long as you stay, the world of flowers, friends and family, singing and drinking, are all your wonderful life. Maybe...... Maybe in the future, you will find a wishful husband, you love and love to grow old together, and your children are around your knees, enjoying the joy of family. It's only fulfilling to live like this, even before you die of old age, you can tell yourself that you didn't live this life in vain. Your life has been wonderful, you have seen it, you have loved it, and you have come to this world. Lin Jue said in a deep voice.
A hot current surged in Bai Bing's heart, and she was moved by Lin Jue's words. Yes, in this wonderful world, why do you want to go to the lonely, lonely, cold and dead Mobei that you don't like at all to live your life? I also want to live a good life, why should I be trapped in a cage set by my master and not be able to break free? Why do you want to live your life like a master? Why can't you pursue the life you want?
However, this hot current suddenly encountered cold, and when she thought of her master's methods, and thought that she would be furious because she stayed in the Central Plains, and even hurt the innocent lives of Lin Jue and others, Bai Bing's heart went cold again.
"Lin Gongzi, I understand what you said. However, what you don't understand, if I stay, my master will really come looking for me, and maybe he will anger others. At that point, I'm afraid it's going to be out of control. No one can persuade my master, and I'm afraid something bad will happen. I'm really scared. ”
Lin Jue naturally understood that this was actually Bai Bing's last knot. But this is already a huge progress, from the beginning when Bai Bing refused to stay because he wanted to repay the master's nurturing kindness, to now he hurt others just because he was worried that the master would come to find him, this is actually a huge change in perspective. Psychologically, it is already active resistance to passive coercion.
"Your master is also a poor person, and her life in this life is really miserable. I don't dare to live in the Central Plains, I only dare to live in Mobei. The goal of life at every moment is revenge, what a miserable life? Although the tragedy of the Demon Sound Gate is very tragic, she has already killed nearly a hundred people, which has already exceeded the number of people in the Demon Sound Gate, which should be enough, why kill all the people? Why do you want to inherit this hatred? I'm looking forward to her coming to you, so that we can work together to bring her to her senses. Let her no longer indulge in revenge and pain, and let her be freed from the shackles of hatred. If you love your master and want to repay her for her nurturing kindness, shouldn't you help her get rid of it? That's what you really repay her. When you stay and she comes to you, we work together to help her out of her pain. Just use you as bait to force her to come. Lin Jue said softly.
"My master...... I'm afraid you can't convince her, I'm afraid no one in this world can convince her. As soon as she came, I was afraid that it would be ...... I'm afraid I'm going to kill someone, I'm going to die. I don't want you to be killed by her, in that case, I'll live in regret for the rest of my life. Bai Bing shook his head and shouted.
Lin Jue smiled: "Is your master more powerful than Hai Dongqing?" Don't worry, she can't hurt me. You believe in me. White girl, do you dare to meet this challenge with me, let's do this together, let your master be free, and you will also be free. In the future, your master, you, your sister, and me...... These friends, everyone lives happily here, carefree, watching plays, drinking, and playing in the mountains and rivers, what a good life it is. Will you promise me? ”
Lin Jue slowly stretched out his hand, and put his palm up in front of Bai Bing's eyes: "If you promise me, you will swear by high-five me, and we will work together to do this." ”
Bai Bing looked at the hand in front of him in a daze, the outline of the palm in the dark was very blurred, but it was clearly there, and it seemed to be slightly hot. Bai Bing suddenly felt that this seemed to be a rescue hand that pulled herself out of drowning, despite hesitation, despite hesitation, she subconsciously stretched out her little hand and rested her cold hand on Lin Jue's palm.
Lin Jue held the soft little hand tightly and laughed softly: "That's right, don't go, I need you here." Your master, your sister, all of us need you to be strong in making decisions. From now on, you will no longer be the white ice of the desert north land before, you are the new white ice. ”
Bai Bing felt the heat on Lin Jue's hand, his heart fluttered, and he nodded softly: "Lin Gongzi, you want to help me, I really don't know what to do." ”
Lin Jue stared at her and said softly, "Don't worry, everything has me." ”
Bai Bing sighed, his tense body suddenly relaxed, and he looked at Lin Jue's close face in a daze. Unconsciously, he shook his hand and grabbed Lin Jue's hand tightly.
……
As the saying goes: more than half of the Mid-Autumn Festival is over. It is described as a rush of time, and when a certain point reaches a certain point in January of the year, it gives people the illusion that there is little left to accelerate forward. After September, the feeling is even stronger. All of this is confirmed by the sudden change in the weather.
The autumn wind rises, and the autumn night is cool. The green leaves turn yellow and the yellow leaves fall. After a few autumn rains, the weather is getting chillier. Sooner or later, it was already cold. The clothes of the people on the streets have gradually become thicker. There is a jacket inside the gown, and there is an inner service inside the jacket. All this fully shows that autumn is coming to an end and winter is coming.
One morning, the early risers saw the white frost on the roof tiles, and their exhaled breath was like boiling water bubbling white, and finally believed that winter had arrived.
In the fifth year of Da Zhou Qingfeng, this unusual year is finally coming to an end.
Since the successful opening of the inner city branch of the capital, Lin Jue's life has been very nourishing. None of the things that bothered Lin Jue happened, but there were a few more good things.
The first good thing is the number one happy event of the Lin family. The little county lord kept shouting that he was tired and sleepy at night. In a time in mid-September, Lang Zhong finally took out the happy pulse. It turned out that the little county lord had been pregnant for more than a month. No wonder she kept feeling tired and something was wrong. This incident really made Lin Jue overjoyed. My hard work has finally paid off. In the past half a year, he has spent a lot of energy on the three women around him, but none of them are pregnant, which made Lin Jue wonder if something was wrong. Now it seems that all worries are unnecessary. It's just a matter of chance.
The little county lord is in a good mood, he can conceive Lin Jue's child, and he is the first woman around Lin Jue to be pregnant, so he is naturally very happy. And this also makes up for the pain and regret brought to him by the child who was forced to abort before. This time, she can finally give birth to the first child of the Lin family openly. So, although he couldn't see the bulging stomach at all, the little county lord had already begun to be cautious.
The little lord set the rules. From now on, you are not allowed to make loud noises in your own residence, speak and act lightly, and do not be startled. For himself, the little county lord set the principle of three nos, don't stay up late, don't drink, and don't have sex with Lin Jue. The first two are fine, and the last one is going to drive Lin Jue out of bed.
The second good thing is that the formulation and promulgation of the second set of new laws of the "Conscription Law", which Lin Jue is most worried about, has not been carried out for a long time. The well-informed Liu Xiding told Lin Jue that there was some controversy in the "Conscription Law" in the court, and the two adults should have been under some pressure, so they did not make up their minds for the time being. Moreover, there were some small problems in the trial implementation of the "Changping New Law" below, and the two adults went out of Beijing in person to inspect the implementation of the new law. It seems that at the end of the year the "Conscription Law" was issued. The stage was shelved.
Lin Jue was very happy with this result, according to his own understanding, there were many inappropriate provisions in the conscription law, and if it was really promulgated according to the news he knew, it would definitely cause an uproar. It's not a bad idea to stop and think about it at this point. Moreover, the pace is too fast, and there is no time to amend the adverse consequences of the new Changping law. It is not necessarily a bad thing that he and Yan Zhengsu are now given time to investigate the implementation of the "Changping New Law" and to allow the "Conscription Law" to be temporarily shelved. If the two adults can see the unreasonable implementation of the "Changping New Law" below, they may amend the provisions in time, which is a good thing for the promotion of the entire law change. Stopping and recuperating is not the same as stagnation, but for the sake of better progress.
However, Lin Jue actually understood in his heart that with the character of Yan Zhengsu and Fang Dunru, they would not pay attention to the opposition from the outside world. The temporary suspension of the Conscription Act is by no means a waiver, or only a temporary adjustment of them. This second new law will be formulated and implemented after all, because this is the result of consistent thinking, and the two new laws are advancing layer by layer, paving the way for the new laws that follow. If this is not done, it will be impossible to carry out the reform in depth.
In any case, Lin Jue is still very happy to be able to spend the remaining months of the year safely. There are so many things that have happened this year, Lin Jue really doesn't want to make any more moths, he just wants to take a breath.
