Xu Hanshan's gun paused slightly, his expression dark and difficult to discern as he looked at the string of tears.
It's not that he hasn't seen tears before, from men, women, the elderly, and children. In this era and this world, Xu Hanshan has seen too much suffering, but such suffering does not cause any ripples in his heart.
Maybe it's innate, or maybe it's something else, but Xu Hanshan is a cold-hearted person.
When Xu Hanshan was a child, his biological mother, Lin, the deceased first wife of Mr. Xu, once took him to a temple to burn incense. The abbot then said that Xu Hanshan might have a bloody future.
Mrs. Lin was a woman who was extremely devout in Buddhism, so she asked for some protective Buddhist beads for Xu Hanshan, hoping to keep him safe.
She thought that her child would have to endure hardships, but she did not expect that after her death, Xu Hanshan was indeed covered in blood as the abbot said, but this blood was not from Xu Hanshan, but from those who were against Xu Hanshan.
The Buddhist beads that Mrs. Lin had asked for were long gone, but when Xu Hanshan returned to Huchuan this time, he had the chance to meet the abbot of that year again. The abbot had not aged at all after so many years, and he just glanced at him and gave him the beads in his hand.
"Your benefactor is a noble man, but your hands are stained with too much worldly blood. Why don't you take this bead with you? Perhaps you can see some other turning point."
Xu Hanshan took it.
It was not because he believed in the monk, but because he remembered his biological mother, Mrs. Lin.
The person is gone and the old things are hard to find. Carrying Buddhist beads with you is a kind of comfort.
But the bead broke for no reason and just rolled down to the white jade feet.
Xu Hanshan looked at the tears and always felt something was not right in his heart.
The girl's weak whimpering would only occasionally emerge from under the veil, and Xu Hanshan became even more impatient when he heard the noise.
Holding the gun in his hand, Xu Hanshan exerted a little force with his wrist, and the barrel of the gun lifted the veil slightly, revealing a bit of snow-white chin as white as jade.
Xu Lanyin was horrified: "Brother! What are you doing? She is my father's concubine!"
Xu Lanyin knew this little bit. Whoever lifted the red veil would be the bride's husband. Even though Mr. Xu had passed away, there was absolutely no reason for Xu Hanshan to lift the veil for Bai Yuzhi!
Xu Hanshan looked at the tears hanging on the tip of the girl's chin and was very impatient with Xu Lanyin's reminder.
He did not stop for a moment and directly lifted the annoying red veil.
The red fabric hung on the cold gun barrel, one hard and one soft, and there was an odd sense of fit between them.
Xu Lan paused in her movement to run over to stop him, and her red veil fell to the ground along with the gun. Bai Yu raised her head and tilted her snow-white face close to Xu Hanshan's eyes.
The appearance of the original white jade body is not particularly outstanding. It can only be described as the type of beautiful girl from a small family. She has the unique grace of a Jiangnan woman, and also has the bookish air of someone from a literati family.
The Xu family had never seen the original body. The original body's father, Master Bai, was a very mean man, especially towards his daughter.
Originally, he was just mean and didn't allow me to leave the house. He wanted to restrain me with the lady's etiquette of not leaving the main door or the secondary door. But ever since he had that concubine, he went from being mean to being purely evil.
He wanted to sell his daughter to the Xu family as a concubine for good luck, and her previous education became a bargaining chip to raise the price of his daughter.
"My daughter has been innocent from childhood to adulthood. If you want her to be your concubine, I won't allow it without five hundred dollars."
After Master Bai received five hundred dollars from the Xu family, he treated the original body even more harshly.
He didn't even tell the original body who she was going to marry, nor did he tell her that she was going to be a concubine for good luck. Poor original body only found out what kind of hell she was going to the day before she was sold.
In addition, the Xu family did not care about what kind of person the original body was. Mr. Xu was so seriously ill that he could not even get out of bed. How could he have the energy to really marry the girl?
All I need is a good birth date and horoscope. That's enough.
After all this commotion, until now, Bai Yuzhi showed her adjusted appearance in front of them, and everyone realized that this concubine who came to bring good luck was actually such a rare beauty.
This is the first time that Bai Yuzhi has used this appearance. With the foundation of her original body, Bai Yuzhi is now a very gentle woman.
Her skin is snow-white, and her long, thick hair is tied into a bun. Nowadays, girls all like short hair, and few have such long, thick hair.
Bai Yuzhi had a pair of misty eyes, like peach blossoms, which should have been charming and beautiful, but she had just cried, and the red corners of her eyes and the tears that had not yet fallen made her eyes moist. Her long and thick eyelashes were wet and formed into clusters, like spring dew on the stamens, pitiful and lovely.
She is a very beautiful girl. This kind of beauty is not like the hustle and bustle of Shanghai and Sichuan today. She has an ancient and elegant beauty that comes from a painting of a beautiful lady. When you look at her, it's as if all your temper disappears.
Xu Hanshan didn't know what was going on. Looking at the ill-fitting wedding dress on Bai Yuzhi's body, he suddenly remembered a piece of lotus-patterned brocade he had accidentally obtained some time ago. That silk was a rare and good thing. The person who gave it to him didn't know that Xu Hanshan had no female relatives, so he said that he wanted to give it to Xu Hanshan's wife.
The brocade is full of luster and is an exceptionally elegant sky blue color. Even if someone could truly match it, it would not hold up if the color was not extremely good.
But now, Xu Hanshan looked at the white jade face and thought of the brocade.
If it were made into a cheongsam and worn by a woman like this, the fabric would not be considered wasted.
The veil was lifted, and Bai Yuzhi first saw the gun barrel, and another big tear fell. She saw the sandalwood beads at her feet, so she picked them up, held them in her white and tender palms, and returned them to Xu Hanshan.
"Young Master."
The color of the sandalwood beads is already dark, and after being stained with the woman's tears, they become even darker.
When her fingertips, which were white jade with a hint of pink, touched it, the contrast between the two made her fragility even more prominent.
Xu Hanshan watched the bead being held closer. He sniffed it lightly. There was nothing wrong with the sound, but the words that came out were very wrong.
"What kind of perfume did the madam use? It really suits my taste."
