Qifeng has laws, and the attendants are not allowed to give the master's surname unless they have made great contributions.The family members who are given the same surname as the master sometimes have a higher status than the master who came in. For example, the servants who follow the old master must be higher than the aunts and aunts of the younger generation, and the monthly income they enjoy is also much higher.Even so, there are very few people who bully the master. After all, those who can have this honor are loyal old men. It used to be comforting to work hard for half a lifetime, even if it was Feng Shuang who followed the master for the rest of his life, there were very few people who bestowed a surname.

Lianxiang, Lu Lianxiang.

I squinted and watched Lianxiang crying bitterly in front of the tombstone, feeling an indescribable feeling in my heart.Although we have known each other for a while, I really didn't know that she had made great contributions and bestowed her family members with the surname of the master.And the master of this family is the Venus Lu family who shocked Qifeng.In Chexue's heart, she must be valued more than I imagined.And before, I only regarded them as personal maids of ordinary people, and sometimes I didn't even realize the word Fengshuang.

What exactly they have experienced, it really hurts to think about it now, the Lu family, Chexue, and Lianxiang.I actually don't know them at all.

My heart followed my mind, until a gust of cold wind hurt me, I pursed my dry lips, and I turned my head to look at Che Xue.The few people around were gone. I scanned around, but there were barely a few shadows on the slope before I came. Judging from the figure, it seemed that they were right.

The fox fur collar covered her sharp jawline, and the few strands of black hair behind her ears were blown up by the wind, sticking to her somewhat pale face, her jet-black eyes stared at the place where Lianxiang was kneeling, as if she wanted to Burn the tears of the Yiren in front of the loess stone cover into the memory, and cast them into eternal life.Those eyes were not the warm and indifferent ones I was familiar with, but the direction she was looking at—was it Lianxiang, who could see through life and death, or Chongzi, who was sleeping in the ground forever—that ten cows with a stern face and a stubborn temper couldn’t be pulled back. Twenty-nine red makeup.

A touch of unwillingness to open the tea is in the square inch, the vermilion lips are parted, and the vows turned into a breeze lingering around the ears.Singing and singing, the soul of the snow and the frozen soil are three minutes away.

I think about my love, the river flows east of the Yangtze River, and the mouth of Qinghui River does not wait for boatmen.

I think about my love, on the top of the snowy peak of Tianshan Mountain, on the east slope of Qing Hui, and the golden lotus does not pick.

I think about my love, Ziwei Palace in the capital of the emperor, Qinghui Temple, brocade books do not come.

I think about my love, Xihu Tong looks at the pass, Qing meets cinnabar, and the setting sun is long and round.

Sunset oval.

I was a little crazy for a while, and when I met her eyes, I was still wandering in a drunken dream.

Say, I won't go, I will accompany you.

And she was a little puzzled.

Knowing that I lost my composure, I immediately changed the subject, pointed at Lianxiang, and asked her to let them stay for a while.

Che Xue looked away and nodded slightly.

I walked a few steps with her, Chexue was afraid that she was worried, and would turn back to look at Lianxiang every few steps.There are more worries in the eyes that I don't usually see. Will this person who is like a banished fairy be nostalgic for the world of mortals?

It's really too far away. Although she is in front of me, I feel more and more that I can't catch her, so close and yet so far away.We have known each other for a long time, except that I stayed by her side wishfully, she was always indifferent and treated each other with courtesy.She lives in her world, and that's not where I can stay.I want to be close to her, I want to be close to her regardless of everything, I am willing to give everything for this, I want to be by her side, accompany her in joys and sorrows, and listen to her complaints.However, I have never had the opportunity to touch her emotions like this.

I'm always shut out of the world by her, yeah, even if I know she's in trouble, how can I help?Not only can't help anything, but it will burden her.

Thinking of this, the corners of his mouth curled up, and he unconsciously covered his chest with his hands, where it was very painful.

It took me a long time to catch my breath, yes, I looked at Chexue’s straight back in front of me, even if I couldn’t do anything, as long as she is willing to let me stay by her side, it’s enough up.What I can do is to do my best to make her happy, even if it is only a little bit, it is worth it.

The suburb was very empty, except for the sound of the wind and Lianxiang's weeping, it was quiet all around, which made people feel a little intrusive, so she involuntarily leaned against Chexue, just a piece of clothing away from her arm.

Che Xue was not a talkative person, and today it is even worse.After thinking about it for a long time, I still felt that I should say something to dispel this endless silence.So thinking of the few people who came with me before, who had never met before, it would be no harm to come and inquire, so I opened my mouth.

"Look at those guys just now are all Lianjiazi. After all, your house is full of secrets, and even the servants are not inferior in style. You usually go southeast and northwest. No matter how you say it, it is a girl's house. You don't want to lose money." Bring a few, they will feel at ease with you."

Chexue turned her gaze away from Lianxiang, still vaguely feeling the loneliness lingering on her body, she nodded and said, "Heaven is healthy, the official road is smooth; scholar-bureaucrats keep integrity, and there is no worry about robbers; farming Household weaving is a reserve, and every household has a surplus at the end of the year, which can prove the safety of the people on the land. Once it comes, it will be safe. Although it is a backup, how can it be expected that everything will be worry-free?"

I was numb from her big reasoning, and I grinned wryly.Uneducated, I understand half of it, but I really can't catch up on the second half.I had to change the subject, "There are too many Crouching Tigers, Hidden Dragons in your mansion, not to mention the old man in front, even the one who whispered in the back is much better at kung fu than me, alas, it's a pity that I still accompany you every day." Showing off my three-legged kung fu in front of my eyes, I didn't expect Miss Lu to pick up my smile for nothing and not know me." I turned around her arm pretending to be angry, and pouted.

"Caigong and Uncle Mo are two elders, so they are naturally equal in terms of qualifications and knowledge. Don't worry about Xiange." She blocked me with just this sentence.

"Two?"

"Well, Uncle Mo works in the Linfu."

"Linfu?" This surname is really rare, never heard of it.

Chexue probably misunderstood me, nodded and explained: "Uncle Mo is the steward of Weihan's residence, and it's fortunate that he helped take care of it this time."

I nodded, realizing in my heart.I also blame myself for being stupid, what is the relationship between the Mo family and the Lu family, I am afraid that the word "pro" will not be used, so I just say that my family is fine, anyway, the Mo family is just such a seedling, isn't it a family inside and out.Ordinarily, it would not be uncommon for the eldest daughter of the Jin Xing Lu family to marry a prince into their family.But she accepted Mo Weihan, the only seedling of a merchant family.Although their Mo family has a lot of money, the title of businessman is destined to be inferior to others after all.No matter how childhood sweethearts, it has been a practice since ancient times that officials and businessmen do not communicate with each other.But the two of them didn't seem to care at all, and everyone in the world knew that the young lady of the Lu family had married the only son of the Mo family, and they never heard a word of no from anyone.

I really don't know what these people are thinking.But no matter how you think about it, what does it have to do with me?

Hehe, wry smile.They are a natural couple, and I don't even have a position to be jealous.

"It's rare that Mr. Mo is thoughtful and dedicated to you."

After hearing my words, Chexue was a little silent, and said for a while: "Yes, they always protect me."

As soon as the comforting words came to my lips, I heard Che Xuefu murmur again, "And what did I do...?" My heart moved, and I swallowed the words that came to my mouth.

"Mingyang...Mingyue...Lianxiang...Chongzi, Dragon God, what should I do?" Chexue seemed to be muttering to herself, but she seemed to hope that someone would respond, mixed with a trace of uneasiness .

I thought about it and grabbed her hand, it was cold.He clasped it against his chest, hoping that he could give her even a little bit of warmth.

"Dragon God Blessing, you are a Venus Dragon Rider, so you should naturally receive more blessings than others. No matter what, calm down, it is the Dragon God's will. Chexue, don't think too much, some things have already passed. You can't do it all over again, for Lianxiang, you have to cheer up, don't you?"

Chexue seemed not expecting me to say that, she closed her eyes and lowered her eyes.Said, Xiange, I can't even protect the closest people around me, am I too failed.

I shook my head hastily, anxiously persuading.But Che Xue couldn't listen.

Seeing Chexue's thin figure and the way she was holding back tears, I couldn't suppress my emotions anymore, so I pulled her into my arms.At this moment, it seemed as if a big rock fell to the ground in my heart, but she didn't push me away.I smiled wryly because I still have the energy to think about these things. Forget it, I am not afraid of wind or rain, so I just open my heart.I patted her on the back and said, cry, just this once, no one can see.

Chexue froze slightly.

We kept this posture unmoved.But I obviously feel that when the wind blows my shoulders are cool, she has really endured it for too long, will she even forget how to cry... Chexue's choked sobs are drowned in the whining wind.

I reached out my hand naturally and stroked her hair. There were wind and snow shards that I could never erase on the faint body temperature.

If I could, my heart would also be broken with Che Xue's sobbing. At this moment, I really want to transfer all the suffering she has endured to myself.I want to keep her smile, I like that smiling Lu Chexue.She should be like a lady from a famous family, guarding her yard with peace of mind to study, and looking forward to the wishful man in her dream with longing.How nice that is.

The Dragon God is famous, this is the first time I long for the power to protect a person.

I hope she can at least let go of her guard against me, she doesn't need to shy away from it at all, she can trust me, cry in front of me, please trust me, don't carry it alone, it's too tiring.

Che Xue, you and me.

All these words are condensed on the tip of my tongue, but I can't speak them out.

Because I don't have such power, at least I can't do anything now, except lend her a shoulder, I have nothing.

Dragon God... Isn't she the Dragon God General whom you favor?You must be looking at her.

This is so unreal, just like the dream I often have, only in the dream can I get close to her.I am addicted to her frowns and smiles, soft words, if I am comfortable around me, with her, it is the whole world.Yes, I like her, I really really like her.

Yes, a woman, I like Lu Chexue this woman.

I have never really understood the relationship between Chongzi and Lianxiang, but looking at Lianxiang who was sobbing, I suddenly felt very envious of Chongzi - there was such a person who ignored the criticism of the world for her death and kept his aspirations.

Lianxiang, who is always amiable, gentle and virtuous, is so brave. She breaks the worldly criticism and admits her feelings for Chong Zi, which is a bit enviable.

can i do itcan i really do it ...no, I...

The choking sound in my ear has disappeared, and the warmth has nowhere to go.Immediately, I felt a bone-piercing chill, and my consciousness returned to my soul. Chexue turned her back to me and turned her head away.

I smiled wryly, after all, she still doesn't want to expose herself to others.

I didn't force her anymore, and I felt embarrassed to say anything, especially Chexue.I didn't want to disturb her, so I raised my foot and planned to go over to see Lianxiang.

Lianxiang was still lying there, and I walked up to her. The thin back was like a rose stalk that had been knocked down by the wind and rain, and it made people feel pain in their hearts when they looked at it. I wanted to persuade her, but all the time It was broken, and her body and hands were cold.I hurriedly tugged her arm and shook it, but there was no response, so I hurried to check her breath, it was very weak, and when I touched it lightly, my face was as cold as ice lumps.I was really frightened, I quickly turned around and called Chexue, rubbed my hands together and held her hands between her neck, hoping to warm her up.

When Chexue arrived in two or three steps, Lianxiang's eyes were a little distracted.I watched anxiously as Chexue took out a pill and stuffed it into Lianxiang's mouth. The smell made even me beside me frown.

Good medicine tastes bitter, and it will definitely be useful if it tastes like this.

Chexue and I helped Lianxiang to sit aside, her body was as limp as a ball of mud.I quickly squatted down and rubbed Lianxiang's legs, this was really driving me crazy, I didn't even respond to pinching.Chexue took off the cloak and put it on Lianxiang, calling her name, it took a long time for Lianxiang to recover.She moved her pale lips, as if she wanted to say something, but she couldn't make a sound, she just looked at Chexue anxiously, and the hot tears hurt my heart.

"Lianxiang, you'll be in such a hurry to be in the sky again." I really couldn't stand it anymore, and I couldn't control my tone to scold her loudly. "Chong Zi would go crazy seeing you being wronged a little bit. Today, if you cry like this, she will probably be in trouble with the Dragon God. Are you really trying not to let her live?"

Lianxiang was also taken aback by me.

Chexue's expression was also uncomfortable, and she said, Lianxiang, let Chong Zi'an go with peace of mind.

Lianxiang seemed to be frightened by what I said, and struggled to make a few broken sounds. I was about to speak, but Che Xueyang stopped me. "Lianxiang, you are sensible, right?"

Lianxiang looked at Chexue, another silver line rolled down from the corner of her eyes.She slowly closed her eyes and nodded.

"Xiange...thank you."

Hearing Chexue's voice, I forced the corners of my mouth into a wry smile.Lianxiang understands, do you understand?If it is not Chong Zi who is lying there now, but me, who can do this for me?

It's useless to think about some things.

"You are too alien, aren't we friends?" I added, "You, Lianxiang, and Chongzi are all my friends."

"Ah."

I saw someone swaying back and forth on the hillside, so I told Chexue, and Chexue frowned.

Let's go, it's Uncle Liu who is taking care of you.

Chong Zi, we are leaving, you should have a good rest.Afterwards, I will do my best to take care of Lianxiang and... Chexue.Although you are annoying, I don't hate you.

I looked back for the last time, sighed, and helped Lianxiang to leave.

We took advantage of the night to rest at a household outside the city, it was too late now, the city gate was not open, so we could only rest here temporarily, and then enter the city at dawn.

It seems that the steward of the Mo family knew this family, and it must have been arranged before. The men crowded into one room, and the hostess let the three of us into the main room. I hesitated at that time , but seeing that Chexue didn't seem to have any reaction, he kept that polite heart in his stomach.Thinking, since they are acquainted, there must be safe arrangements.

I think I don't care, as long as I have a place to sleep, I have slept in Jigong Temple, let alone such a place with eaves.

Lianxiang was also tired from crying, and she had almost no energy when she rushed over, but she was still very stubborn and refused to sleep on the bed. In the end, Chexue used an orderly tone, which made her stick to the edge of the bed. It didn't take long for her to fall asleep on the pillow.Only Che Xue and I were left sitting at the edge of the table.There was no speech for a moment.

The hostess knocked on the door and delivered a pot of hot water. After a few polite words, she went out.I rinsed the cup and poured a cup for Chexue.

"Warm up your body. What Aunt Li said is that the more you drink tea, the more energetic you will be. You should drink plain water at night. Whether it's cold or not, do you need to ask her to bring some hot water to wash away the dust?"

Chexue shook her head, "No, you worked hard today, so go to bed early."

I looked at her amusedly, "Are you being polite or am I being polite... Or, it's you who haven't closed your eyes for two days. You must have not rested well for a while. Your eyes look like rabbits."

Chexue subconsciously covered her eyes with her hand.

"I'm kidding, I'm serious."

Che Xue pursed her lips and forced a smile.

For a while, the room was dull, without a word.I soaked up the water with a towel and covered my face.

"What's so good about officialdom?" I asked her.

Che Xue was silent.

"Even if this kind of thing happens again in the future, do you still want to get involved in this muddy water?"

She still didn't speak.

I lifted up the towel and rubbed it in the basin again, just as I was about to speak, I heard Chexue also speak on the other side.

Then I turned to look at her.

"I..." She stroked the cinnabar on her brow. "I have thought about such a day since a long time ago, but since I have embarked on this path, there is no room for turning back."

I knew she would say that.

"You can obviously let go of all this, Chexue. The officialdom is the world of men, why do you push yourself like this." I bit my lip and said, "And... Even if you don't have an official position, that boy from the Mo family will not regret the marriage of."

She stared at me for a while, then turned her eyes, and I saw the light in her eyes dim.

"Besides, you are already a Venus Dragon Rider. You have explained to your family, haven't you? At least the brand of your Venus Lu Mansion will not fall into your hands. You are a direct descendant, but you still have a younger brother. Ruan Isn't the girl the same as you? She left the family business to find Brother Fang, and see if her younger brother will inherit their family now. Are you different from her? Chexue, Chexue, you What the hell!! What the hell!!”

In fact, I have been holding back these words in my heart for a long time, but there is only the part about Mo Weihan in the middle. In fact, the person I think in my heart is me, it is me.

As long as she says a word, I, Qin Xiange, will definitely follow her to the ends of the earth.

I will take care of her, cherish her, and devote my life to it.

Because I... I like her.

The second half of the sentence stuck in my throat, and I really didn't dare to say it.

I'm afraid that if I say it, it will scare her and alienate me, and I will never have a chance to be by her side again.

I am very envious of Chongzi and Lianxiang, they are so courageous, and they are so tacit to each other.

But I... How can I watch Che Xue live a happy life, but follow me to suffer.

If she followed Mo Weihan, she could continue to be her Mo patriarch's daughter-in-law.

The marriage of the Mo Lu family, Che Xue's limelight will definitely not let Princess Cuihua, the jewel in the palm of the current king.

"I have my responsibilities. This step by step has pushed me to the present, not just how much power I will hold in my hands. There are many descendants of the Lu family. Although there are not few people who enter the court, there are not many of them. This is still the case with the family motto set down by my grandparents. My Lu family does not covet money and power, but seeks a clear conscience. Fuze the world." She paused for a moment when she spoke of the excitement, but she lost her composure, and then slowed down her tone: "Xiange, I didn't do these things for anyone, but these are what I want to do, you understand ?"

I was stunned by her words, and I no longer had the confidence I had at the beginning.

Nodding, I don't understand anything else, but the last sentence is very clear.Since this is what she wants to do, what right do others have to comment on it.

Chexue was also extremely tired today, seeing that I didn't answer, she didn't say anything more, she moved to the bedside silently, and took Lianxiang's pulse.It seemed that there was no problem, so he sighed softly and leaned against the bed, closing his eyes to regain his senses.

I was really entangled and didn't want to think about it any more. The rooster crowed in my ears, and it was dawn.I also lay down on the table and fell into a deep sleep.
