In the noisy market, a rapper playing a minor tune walked past the street.

In the large courtyard with blue bricks and white tiles, snow-colored pear blossoms protrude from the wall.

A woman in a blue maid's bijia long skirt and a pair of buns was walking slowly to the corner door with a basket on her shoulders, raised her hand and knocked on the wooden door lightly, and said in a soft, waxy and sweet voice.

"Open the door! I'm back from buying flower cakes!"

Before she finished speaking, the corner door opened with a creak, and a more beautiful maid who also wore double buns poked her head out from the door, took the basket in her hand with a smile, turned around and opened the door to let her in : "A-Jiao is back, come in!"

The little maid named Gillian put down the basket as soon as she entered the door, took out a plate of pastries from inside, carefully placed it on the tray, and laughed with the maid who opened the door just now, then lowered herself into the hanging flower door, walked a few steps and saw the back garden Inside, a figure was sitting by the side of a pond, and suddenly showed a bright smile.

"Young lady!"

There was a bamboo rocking chair beside the pond, which creaked when it moved, and a figure was lying on it, wearing a light blue women's double shirt, and was looking at the pond with his arms outstretched. Hearing this, he immediately looked up. In the past, I happened to see Gillian walking quickly with a flower cake, and handed the plate to him with a smile on his face.

"Young Madam, Gillian is back from buying flower cakes, it's still hot!"

The person sitting on the rocking chair lowered his head and looked at the pastry that was served in front of him. It was still steaming with a little bit of heat, and it was made into the shape of a plum blossom. There was still a bright red color in it, and he couldn't help but evoked a smile. Under the sun, Zhang Yanli's face was set off by the pear-blossom hosta in her temple hair, making her skin look like jade and thin lips like blood.

The maidservant standing beside her was tall and slender, seeing A-Jiao approaching like this, she couldn't help but frowned slightly, lowered her voice and scolded her: "Just talking to the young lady like this, it's really unruly, making flower cakes and washing them by hand No?"

When Ah Jiao heard the tall maidservant speak, she quickly stood up and defended, "Ah Jiao did it herself, so of course she washed it."

"A Yao, don't make things difficult for A Jiao."

The person on the rocking chair shook his head with a smile, looked at the tall maid frowning at A-Jiao, raised his hand to pat her arm, and took a flower cake from the plate.

"Come on, let me taste it."

A-Jiao saw the people dressed in women's doubles eat, and hurriedly opened her almond eyes, and asked a little nervously: "Young Madam, is it delicious?"

The person on the rocking chair swallowed the cakes in his mouth, and there was a bit of a smile in his voice: "How many pieces did A-Jiao eat?"

A-Jiao stuck out her tongue secretly, and seeing the smile on the corner of the master's lips, she finally breathed a sigh of relief, knelt down and replied softly: "A-Jiao tasted it, I'm afraid the young lady won't like it."

"Is this made with candied cherries?" The person on the rocking chair nodded her forehead, turned to look at the snacks on the white porcelain plate, and suddenly raised his hand again to pick up a piece, broke it carefully and held half of it , pointed to the red preserved fruit inside, and asked with a thoughtful smile, "Where do you get the cherries at this time of year?"

"Young madam, these are not cherries, they are fruits from the mountains, soaked in honey." Seeing that the master in front of her liked it, the little maid pointed to the way she had come, and said with a sweet smile, "A-Jiao also brought a cherry. Come back from the can, let the young lady try something new, the people on the mountain picked it a few days ago, it's fresh and delicious."

"It tastes like cherries, but I don't see much of it."

Hearing this, the person in the rocking chair raised his eyebrows slightly, and ate the half piece of snack: "Go and get a plate to serve it, and eat it with tea."

Hearing this, Gillian hurriedly nodded, "Yes, Young Madam!"

Yueyao watched the little maid go away, and couldn't help sighing softly, watching the person on the rocking chair straighten up, and when she walked towards the outer corridor, she hurriedly followed her and said softly: "Young Madam, Mrs. Doting on A-Jiao will spoil A-Jiao."

The person with his back to her curled his lips upon hearing the words, and when he turned around, he let the spring breeze lift up his pear-embroidered clothes and long black hair: "She is young, innocent and cute, It's not easy in the dark of the moon—it's only been a few days, so it's very good to let her like this."

Yueyao pursed her lips, glanced at the direction Yuejiao left, and seeing her rushing back again, she couldn't help but sighed: "Young Madam has a really good temper, if it were me, I wouldn't spoil her."

The person standing beside her lowered her head, with a slight smile on her thin lips, and followed her to look towards this side, holding a blue and white porcelain plate, with a smiling Yuejiao on her round face, her eyes don't know why Showing a bit of disappointment, lowered her voice and sighed: "Yueyao, you are just too calm. Compared with Gillian, you really don't look like a girl."

Yueyao watched Yuejiao running over, saluted excitedly, then turned around to put the candied fruit, with a smile in her eyes: "Young madam just likes my temperament, so you let me be this personal maid?" ?”

The person standing beside her didn't speak, turned back and bent down to twist a piece of candied fruit. After eating, he took a sip of tea. When he raised his hand, he showed a bright red thread on his forearm. Yueyao and Yuejiao They saw it almost at the same time, and at the same time immediately lowered their eyes, not daring to look at him anymore.

"Where's your young master? It's already this hour, why don't you come back?"

Yueyao recalled what happened in the morning, and hurriedly lowered her body to report: "Young Madam, Young Master—" Before she finished speaking, Yuejiao saw through her bent figure that she was holding a pot of tea in the corridor not far away. Lan Hua, who was walking slowly towards this side, tugged at his sleeve with a smile and said, "The young master is back! Ma'am, look!"

Gu Zhisu suddenly raised his head, followed Yuejiao's fingers, and looked at the place she was pointing at.

Shi Shiran, a man in a moon-white brocade robe, was walking towards this side, a faint smile appeared on that handsome face, Yueyao and Yuejiao saw him getting closer, and hurriedly lowered their bodies After saluting, they glanced at each other and then turned and retreated, leaving only Gu Zhisu standing in place, with smiles flashing in his black jade-like eyes.

"came back?"

The visitor put down the orchid in his hand, flicked the leaf lightly, and hugged Gu Zhisu's waist with a smile: "It's almost lunch time, if I don't come back to see my wife, where else can I go?"

Gu Zhisu snorted, raised his hand noncommittally, and fanned his hand.

"A-Jiao brought back some candied fruit, you can hold out your hand over there."

Xin Yuanan's palm was blocked by him, the smile on his lips did not change at all, his fingers flitted across the fan Shi Shiran, clasped his fingers tightly, and pulled him to his side, his dark blue eyes under the sun, healed Hair looks bottomless.

"I don't eat those."

Gu Zhisu was hugged in his arms, changed his position slightly, let him lower his body, kissed the corner of his lips lightly, then looked at him with a smile, but didn't say anything.

That night half a month ago, in Gu's inner house.

He accepted the lifelike blooming pear blossom carved from white jade, and hastily arranged for someone from Qionghua to take his place for the time being, while he himself followed Xin Yuanan to Changzhou to choose among the theaters they wanted to bring into Mingdu. chess pieces.

They bought a house in Changzhou, the woman in the dark moon became a maid, the man and the man were both servants, and the two of them pretended to be husband and wife, claiming to be wealthy businessmen from Mingdu, and they wanted to buy a troupe back to Mingdu , Spending money like water in just half a month, first recruited many famous dancers, and then bought a famous theater troupe.

However, this is just what outsiders see, and only the people in this mansion know who the person they bought back is, what kind of past and hatred they have—Xin Yuanan lowered his head and rubbed his hair, and took a breath. A sip of pear blossoms was lightly fragrant, and after a moment of silence, he asked softly with a smile, "Are you still going to the theater this afternoon?"

"Naturally." Gu Zhisu narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard the words, seeing Yueyao and the others not far away, waiting for them with a ready-made lunch, then raised his hand to break free from his embrace, and walked towards Yueyao Walking slowly in the direction, "The others have already been chosen, and only the most important one is left. How can I not choose myself?"

Seeing him walking forward, Xin Yuanan's back was as tall and straight as a green bamboo, his eyes suddenly deepened, and he lowered his voice and said slowly: "Sometimes, I even think... If I can do this, even if I don't fight for anything, it's good .”

With his back turned to him, Gu Zhisu paused slightly.

They have been in Changzhou for the past half month, and there is no grievance between the Gu family and the Xin family, no frightening schemes at every step, and no bloody calculations at the bedside - no one here knows them, they live in this house, Just like the most ordinary couple in the world, Haruhi can look at the pear blossoms in the yard and raise his hand to pick them up while whispering.

Peaceful and quiet, like a dream.

Xin Yuan looked at his back steadily, thinking of Ri'er who stayed in the palace today, and sent several secret letters one after another, which said that after the prince married Gu Haili, both his temper and his behavior became strange, and the emperor also Recently, he was caught in the cold and hadn't appeared in court for several days. Xin Linhua and the Gu family had nothing to say about Gu Haitang's assassination, and there was no news after that.

The situation in Mingdu became more and more serious. After the emperor never showed up in the court, not only the empress and the Gu family were ready to move, but even the ministers also had an undercurrent. Almost at the same time, Er's letter fell into his hands, and there was even a letter from Xiao Ye himself.

Being able to write a letter in Xiao Ye's own handwriting shows that the situation in Mingdu is changing, and it is difficult to predict the rapid changes.

Xin Yuanan narrowed his eyes slightly, letting a ray of sunlight fall into his dark blue pupils.

The two of them cannot stay in Changzhou any longer.

Such a beautiful dream will eventually wake up.

"After seeing that Danjiao, let's go back to Mingdu. Do you think I don't know what happened in Mingdu these few days?"

Even though Gu Zhisu kept his back to him and didn't see his expression, he still bent his lips, and when he spoke slowly, there was no smile in his eyes: "Whether it's you or me, when the Mingdu incident ends, If you want to live a life like this, it's just a dream—"
