night snow full of clear branches

Si Yong wrote two large characters on the paper: Yujun. "How about this name?"

"Okay." Anyway, I don't know what that means.

"Oh, it's useless to ask you." Si Yong took another two words to discuss with Mr. Xie, and finally agreed on the child's name as Xie Yujun.

She packed a pack of snacks and put them in my bag, and said: "Save it for the road, go back to Fuyu Mountain Villa first, if you have time, it's not too late to find Chenggui." For some reason, she was suddenly not in a hurry to find Xie Chenggui.

"If I don't have time, I'll let the villa send someone to look for it." How could the promise be ignored so hastily.

I said a long time ago that I would take Si Yong to Fuyu Mountain Villa to have a look, but until today, we have not been able to make the trip.

"When Yujun grows up, let's go together again."

"Okay." Si Yong almost forgot about this, and was taken aback for a moment when he heard me mention it.

In a crisp autumn weather, I returned to Fuyu Mountain Villa. I thought I would never return to the palace, but the crime was not light, so I hesitated and decided to make a long-term plan later.

Unfortunately, my mother and Uncle Tantai have gone on a long journey, and Jian Min has long since changed his surname to Min and inherited the villa.The mother is relaxed, and it's time to wait if she doesn't travel far at this time.

"Sister, how long do you plan to stay this time?" Jian Min took off the burden for me. He was already a head taller than me, and his appearance had changed a lot. On his face, I could vaguely see the shadow of my father.

"It's about half a month. It would be better if we can wait until mother comes back."

Jianmin said that he didn't know where his mother and Uncle Tantai had gone, and the return date was even more uncertain.

This younger brother, who is several years younger than me, manages the inside and outside of the villa in an orderly manner. No wonder my mother is so relieved.

"Jian Min, do you feel tired?" Everyone thinks it is a great thing to take on a big responsibility when you are young, but I feel that something is missing.

"Sister, you worry too much. I'm not tired. I've already done these things with ease."

"Really, father Izumi knows, and he should be gratified." I've been staring at Jian Min's face in a daze recently, trying to find more shadows of my father, but after all, he is a younger brother, maybe my father also looked like this when he was young.

"Why is my sister always looking at me?"

"I think you look like dad." When his father passed away, Jian Min was still young, so he didn't have a good impression.

Yan Min said: "Mother often said the same thing."

"I'm thinking, if my father hadn't left so early, maybe we would be different now." If my mother didn't bother to send me into the palace, maybe everything would be different, but then I might not know Si Yong, Concubine Min probably died unexpectedly.

"There are no ifs in the world, only results." His insightful words woke me up.

Maybe it's because I think about more things, I'm not like me anymore, I'm a little more silent than before.Seeing me like this, Jian Min said, "Sister, is she going to visit the Longevity Valley? Jing Xing probably doesn't know that you're back. If you go, he will be very happy."

"Is he married?" I was busy in and out of the palace, and I forgot to send a letter of greetings in the past two years. I think he must have children.

Jian Min was silent for a while, and said in a low voice: "My sister is not married yet, how could he?"

While sneering, I suddenly remembered what Uncle Tantai said back then, he said that if one day I really can't find my sweetheart, I can go to Jing Xing.

"You mean he's waiting for me?" I'm not an idiot, if I can't even guess this, I'd be really stupid.

"Of course it is."

I shook my head and said, "It's not worth it. If you see him next time, just tell him not to wait."

Jian Min seemed a little unhappy when he heard the words, and said, "If you want to talk about my sister, you can talk about it yourself."

"How can you tell me to say this? It's okay, if you really don't want to, it's fine." Jing Xingjun's figure appeared in my mind, what kind of girl does a person like him want?

"What's wrong with Jing Xing? Are you going to leave him?"

"He's not bad, on the contrary, he's the best man I know...just..." I bit my lower lip, and I didn't know how to express the rest of the words.

Jian Min was even more puzzled, and said, "Just? Just what?"

"It's just that besides freedom, I don't know what else I want." I looked at the white clouds in the sky, and thought of a poem, "Floating clouds are like a child, and the setting sun is like a man." "What's more, I have an official position now, so I can't leave the palace for a long time. This time I came back because of the extra favor of the emperor."

"Can't you resign from office?"

"If I could, I would have resigned a long time ago." Who would have expected that as soon as I entered the palace gate, everything would be beyond my control.

"Forbidden by the emperor?" Jian Min didn't know why I left my official career inexplicably, and returned to the palace to stay there inexplicably, I shook my head helplessly, the right to make all these decisions is not in my hands at all.

Ever since I met Wei Xue, I have always felt powerless. She used to be a princess, and I was no match for her, even more ruthless. Now she is more than ten thousand, and I am like a chess piece, even more powerless to resist.

That kind of powerlessness is not me at all.

"Jian Min, just wait, I will definitely find a chance to leave the palace, but Jing Xing's place, it's better not to delay him, the fortune tellers say that I have no marriage, and I never want to pull anyone as a fetter."

"Sister, you have become ruthless."

I chuckled, noncommittal, if you want to say ruthless, push Weixue as the leader.

Ever since I knew what Jing Xing was thinking, I prevented myself from going to Changsheng Valley even though it was really a good place.Although Jian Min verbally said that he would not help me, but with his righteousness, he would definitely not be willing to watch this elder brother wait endlessly.

The memories of me and Jing Xing temporarily stay in our childhood childhood, as time goes by, everything will change, and my guilt will also be diluted.

Thinking of the promise that Si Yong would help find Xie Chenggui, a trustworthy person must be sent for this matter, otherwise if the news leaks out, everyone will be ruined.

After many discussions with Jian Min, he sent his right-hand assistant, and I am grateful for Si Yong.

"You are the eldest lady of Fuyu Villa, how can you thank me?"

"After all, you are the owner of the villa." The more I look at Jianmin, the more heroic and dry-minded he is. In the future, he will stand upright and be famous all over the world. He is better than my ineffective sister.

Thinking of this, I felt a little sad again, blaming myself for being too loose and having no gaps in my heart.

Jian Min said: "You are the owner's sister, and you will always be."

This remark sounds very useful to me. How old is Bai, it is a blessing from heaven to have such a younger brother.

"The owner, can you compete with my sister and me?" I also really want to know how he has improved in the past few years.

"Okay, please be merciful, sister."

Jianmin used the sword, I used the green jade stick, and I won with all my strength.He cupped his hands and said with a smile, "Sister is still as powerful."

"No matter how powerful you are, you are single-handedly, and you can't stand up to thousands of troops." I expected Jianmin to lose, but he played steadily, with solid basic skills, and quick response. In time, he will surely surpass me. People often say that hard work can make up for one's weakness. That's it.

"Sister wants to reach thousands of troops?"

"Do you have a way?" My eyes lit up.

"In fact, the so-called thousands of troops are not as good as strategizing. A decisive victory is far away from thousands of miles away. As long as you can use the layout, you can play a big role alone." He has read many military books and has a lot of experience in planning.

"I don't like those convoluted calculations the most, but since you say so, I think I'll think about it." It's a game of chess in the world, Wei Xue can do it, maybe I can too, and only one win is enough, it should be Nor will it be found.

Fortunately, the day before the return trip, my mother and Uncle Tantai came back.

"Qingzhi, why did you remember coming back?" Although she was pleasantly surprised, her mother still had doubts.

Uncle Tantai said: "Qingzhi is homesick, isn't it?"

"Uncle still understands."

Maybe it's because we haven't seen each other for a long time, but my mother's attitude towards me is much gentler. She asked, "When are you leaving?"

"tomorrow."

"So fast?" Uncle Tantai and mother were very surprised.

It's rare that my mother and I have such a reluctant relationship. She said that she hasn't seen me for a long time, and I don't like to send letters home, so I want to talk more tonight.

I don't like to write. Unless I have something to do, I'm usually too lazy to pick up a pen. When I really want to write a letter, I can only choke out a few words. As soon as I snap my fingers, I have written only a handful of letters to Fuyu Villa over the years.

When there was no one around, I leaned on my mother's lap, half-closed my eyes, and chatted with her, like many people who knew me well, she didn't expect that I would be the imperial guard.

"Although your martial arts are good enough, mother doesn't understand you well. Negligence of duty is a common occurrence, and the emperor doesn't blame you?" Mother thinks that it is not easy for me to be able to be up to now.

"The emperor is very kind to me, except for murder and arson, he will follow me." It is a bit of an exaggeration, Wei Xue really treated me like this.

"Don't lie to your mother."

I sighed, and simply told my mother about Wei Xue's threat to me.

"I've really wronged you. Ah Nan did it on his own. Half of the reason why your father and I helped Concubine Zhuang was because Ti Anan compensated their mother and daughter." It's a pity that the grievances were repaid, and I also shared half of the final karma. .

"Don't talk about it, it's all in the past. I just hope that one day Wei Xue will figure it out and let me out." Having said that, I understand that Wei Xue is not such a person who changes her mind easily.

At the end, the mother said: "I'm surprised, what do you have that deserves such kindness from the emperor?"

I laughed out loud and said, "Perhaps she thinks I can relieve her loneliness."

"Which one in the palace is not lonely, Qing Zhi, do you also feel lonely?" My mother patted me on the back, as if returning to my boyhood in a daze.

"Lonely? What is loneliness? I've never felt it in my life." I'm telling the truth. I can make friends wherever I go. Even when I'm alone, I still have friends.

Mother's hand paused for a while, and said leisurely: This is the same, she will never have what you have.
