Yangcheng

Midsummer is the best season in Mengzhou.

Although it was still cold, Ge Xunqing couldn't take off the padded coat that had been with her for several years, but on the mountain after the snow thawed, I could occasionally meet a few wild flowers blooming delicately.

Ge Xunqing squatted beside the wild flowers, looking at the fresh and lovely pure white wild flowers, swaying in the cold wind that blows from time to time.

Today Mao Er stayed with Ge Xunqing for a rest. Ge Xunqing was watching wild flowers here. He went to dig some wild vegetables and killed a fat badger. The wildflowers were all plucked.

"Hey?!" Ge Xunqing looked at Mao Er in disbelief, her voice raised an octave, "What are you doing pulling it out! It grows here properly!"

Mao Er was stunned by her shout. The eight-foot strong man stuttered and handed the wild flower to her: "I pulled it out to give it to you. I see you like it so much..."

Ge Xunqing: "I like the way it grows here in good condition. Who said that if you like it, you have to pick it off?"

Mao Er is a rough man who doesn't understand Ge Xunqing's elegance and kindness at all. He doesn't know why, but he also knows that he has done something bad with good intentions: "This, that, I will plant it back for you."

"You were cut off at the waist by someone else, so is it possible to glue it back?" Ge Xunqing sighed, "Forget it, give it to me, I'll take it back and bury it in the soil to see if I can save it."

"Good good!"

Ge Xunqing touched the little wild flowers, and returned to her residence as if chanting sutras.

Mao Er skinned the badger and gutted it, helped Ge Xunqing clean it up, and then left.

Ge Xunqing gave him a bottle of homemade wine in exchange, and Mao Er took the wine and left happily.

Ge Xunqing hummed a little song she learned a few days ago, found a broken pot, went to the yard and shoveled a few shovels of soil, and planted wild flowers in it.

Nine times out of ten, it is impossible to survive, but in case, after all, it is a wild flower in Mengzhou, with such tenacious vitality, if it survives, Ge Xunqing will plant it back on the mountain.

Get hands full of dirt, when Ge Xunqing went to wash his hands, someone knocked on the courtyard door.

"Come in." Ge Xunqing casually called out through the open window, "The door is not locked."

It was Liu Qiniang who came in.

She was holding a steaming stove in her hand, and kicked the door open with her foot.

Before people even entered the house, Ge Xunqing smelled the smell of meat from the stove, and it was still her favorite mutton.His throat rolled, and his saliva almost flowed down on the spot.

"Look how greedy you are, your eyeballs are going to pop out, put it away." Liu Qiniang brought the stove into the room and put it on the low case that Ge Xunqing used to eat, read scripts, and review documents.

Ge Xunqing said "Hey", and immediately took the chopsticks over: "What day is it today? It's so delicious!"

"Isn't it a day that you can't eat well? I know you are greedy. It just so happened that my third uncle came to visit me these two days and brought a sheep. I just wanted to make a good supplement for you. Look at you little boy The body is getting thinner." Liu Qiniang looked Ge Xunqing up and down with her eyes rolling.

Ge Xunqing didn't think it was wrong, grabbed the chopsticks and took out the largest and most tender piece of mutton. She swallowed it immediately without fear of burning, and praised "it's delicious" vaguely while eating.

"It's delicious, right? Then I'll cook it for you from now on." Liu Qiniang said.

Ge Xunqing was so focused on eating that she didn't even notice that Liu Qiniang was not afraid of the cold today, she only wore a single shirt, which made her already charming figure even more mature and plump.

The makeup is also carefully drawn, and those eyebrows are enough to fascinate all the men in He County.

But Ge Xunqing was so engrossed in eating that she didn't notice Liu Qiniang's little thoughts, her eyes were fixed on the mutton in the stove all the time, and she asked while eating:

"Why don't you eat it? If you don't eat it, I will eat it up."

The two of them had a relationship before and separated again. Liu Qiniang was already worried about the separation between the two, and thought that the little lady who came all the way to find her a while ago was her real lover, but seeing how she felt about that There is nothing special about the little lady, she also left after staying for a few days, it seems that Ge Xunqing is such a person, she likes to make friends, but in real life, too close a relationship will make her uncomfortable.

She likes to get along with people, and also likes to have her own life, and doesn't like to be controlled by anyone.

Liu Qiniang is a person who likes to take care of others. She is several years older than Ge Xunqing. On the one hand, she admires her liking for her, and on the other hand, she has a kind of maternal love that wants to arrange everything for her, so she thinks about it everywhere. It's good for Ge Xunqing.

On the contrary, Ge Xunqing didn't like her meticulousness, and felt that she was being restrained.

They also separated.

Now that Liu Qiniang came to bring her food, she was still thinking about her thoughts.

Originally, Liu Qiniang thought that Ge Xunqing could understand her grand attire and the intention of the mutton that was full of love.

Who knew... Ge Xunqing only had mutton in her eyes.

Liu Qiniang found it cute and funny.

Ge Xunqing was full and felt warm all over, happily washed the stove, shared the dried fish she made and the preserved pickled radishes, and gave them to Liu Qiniang as gifts in return.

Liu Qiniang took the pair in return, dumbfounded.

"I didn't come here for your return gift."

Ge Xunqing asked "Ah?" in doubt.

Liu Qiniang approached, rubbing her cheek on Ge Xunqing's neck intentionally or unintentionally, making the skin on Ge Xunqing's neck and back slightly numb.

"In the hellish place of He County, in the winter of the first half of the year, everything is frozen and hard, and only people's hearts are warm. I thought I could only live with orphans and widows for the rest of my life. Until I met you, Yangon... the days with you were the happiest days in my life." Liu Qiniang's body seemed to melt into Ge Xunqing's arms, "I have you in my heart, I I know that you still miss me in your heart. I was too anxious before and forgot that you were a naive little lady. After I separated from you, my heart and soul were about to be broken. Day and night, everything I thought about It's you. Now that I think about it, I really like you."

Ge Xunqing was about to speak when Liu Qiniang hurriedly put her finger on her lips:

"You don't need to make any promises to me. Whether you go back to Boling or stay in He County, I won't say anything else. We just want to have a good time. We're just living life. What's the point of living alone. Wouldn’t it be nice for someone to care about you, care about you, and stay with you? Yangon, don’t you miss me?”

……

In the mud and darkness that he couldn't break free from, Tang Jianwei couldn't breathe.

She seemed to hear a familiar voice calling her anxiously from a distance, but she couldn't remember whose voice it was.

Consciousness fluttered, she returned to Boling, back to the Tang Mansion in Chongwenfang, Ye Niang was sitting in front of the tea table in the front hall and was talking to her poems.

Su Maozhen couldn't beat Tang Shizhan, so she pretended to be wrong and wanted to compete with him in archery.

How could Tang Shizhan, a scribe, know how to shoot arrows?

But seeing my wife is quite interested, I won't also accompany her to shoot a few shots.

"Hey!" Tang Jianwei was holding a small food box. When he passed by the front hall, he saw that Ye Niang would stick together even if she shot an arrow. You couldn't help teasing, "Someone is here again in broad daylight." Love love love!"

"Little guy, don't shout." Tang Shizhan felt a little shy when Tang Jianwei called him like that.

Su Maozhen's eyes were sharp, and when she saw the food box in Tang Jianwei's hand, she raised her eyebrows up: "Why, go to deliver delicious food to your Ziyao again? I'll just say why you were so good yesterday, beat my legs and rub my shoulders, insisted I will teach you how to make Jiujiang tea cakes, so..."

The young girl's thoughts were rightly told by A Niang, Tang Jian slightly annoyed, holding the food box, turned around and wanted to run away immediately, but unexpectedly, this was too reckless to watch the way, and hit Tang Guanqiu with his head.

At that time Tang Jianwei was already able to fly over the eaves and walls, and he could do the horse walking for half an hour, eating snacks while doing it, which did not bother her at all.With a steady foot and a little embarrassment at the moment, Tang Guanqiu was hit by her like being attacked by a bull, and almost fell out along the outer railing of the corridor.

Fortunately, Tang Jianwei spared a hand and pulled her back.

Tang Guanqiu was so hurt by her bumping her arm that she couldn't recover for a while, but she always had a good temper when facing her younger sister, and she was not willing to scold her at all, so she gently instructed:

"Where are you going in a hurry? Watch the road, don't fall."

Seeing that Tang Jianwei's forehead was covered with sweat, and some beads of sweat appeared on his delicate nose, Tang Guanqiu took out a handkerchief and helped his sister wipe it off.

"No, I can't fall! I'm leaving!" Tang Jianwei happily got into the carriage with the food box in his arms.

She got up before dawn today just to make Jiujiang tea cakes for Wu Xianyi.

Jiujiang tea cake looks simple, but it is not so easy to make the crispy and sweet meringue on the outside.After A Niang taught her last night, she fiddled with the kitchen for more than ten times before she barely succeeded.

Afraid of waking up too late and not being able to "coincidentally meet" Wu Xianyi on his way to the Imperial College, Tang Jianwei woke up earlier than a chicken this morning, groped into the kitchen in darkness, and surprised the housekeeper, thinking that the house had been burglarized.

"Small cakes are like chewing the moon, with crisp and glutinous rice in it."

Jiujiang tea cakes are crispy and delicious, sweet but not greasy. Tang Jianwei has heard from other people that Wu Xianyi likes to eat sweets, so he will definitely not dislike this tea cake.

Yawning and standing on the only way through the Imperial College, seeing Wu Xianyi approaching from a distance, Tang Jianwei immediately pulled himself together, pretended to meet him by chance, and said that he had made some refreshments casually, and the students couldn't finish them, so why don't sisters come and taste it? Suggestions, if there is anything that is not smooth, she can improve it later.

Unexpectedly, Wu Xianyi didn't even look at it, so he said coldly, "I don't like to eat."

"Ah?" Tang Jianwei obviously didn't expect to get such an answer when she was full of greed from morning to night. Disappointed, she asked in a low voice, "Then, sister, what flavor do you like? I'll make it for you tomorrow."

"I don't like dim sum. What you made is not to my liking, so I don't need to make it in the future." Wu Xianyi walked past her with a cold face and obvious dislike.

Others all said that Tang Jianwei was a noble daughter of Boling, one of the well-known Boling Shuangwei, she seemed to be very beautiful.

But no one knew that all the pride that Tang Jianwei had accumulated over the past 15 years was destroyed by Wu Xianyi.

She is a person with strong self-esteem. She has never allowed herself to be weaker than others since she was a child.

Others can recite poems and compose Fu, so she should too.

It's so chic for others to wield knives and swords, but she can not only wield knives and swords, but also fly over walls.

Others are unambiguous in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but she is well-known for piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and she is also proficient in all six arts.

She is the pride of Ye Niang and her sister, but all of this pride is now shattered at Wu Xianyi's feet.

Why does she not like me?

Tang Jianwei doubted himself.

Am I not good enough, not hard enough?

Couldn't like her more.

Tang Jianwei told himself, the cloud is in the blue sky and the water is in the bottle, don't force it, you can't force it.

People want face, their own heart hurts.

It is easy to like, that person easily enters the heart, and quickly takes root in the tenderness of delusion.

But to peel a person from his heart, a layer of skin must be peeled off.

I have to cut my heart open, uproot everything about that person little by little, and even my heart is ripped apart beyond recognition.

Tang Jianwei never told anyone about this past, not even her sister and Azi.After spending lonely and painful nights alone, I mercilessly gouged out my heart for the first time in my life.

15-year-old Tang Jianwei is forced to understand that there are things in this world she cannot get.

No matter how much you like it, no matter how hard you try, there is nothing you can do.

It was hard for her to cut her heart open, and then sew it up after stripping away the emotions that did not belong to her. Before she could sort out her thoughts, Ye Niang passed away suddenly, her sister fell ill, and her world collapsed overnight.

The 17-year-old Tang Jianwei suddenly left the wings of her relatives and faced the crisis of losing her life at any time. She had no one to rely on and needed to protect her seriously ill sister.

Kneeling in front of the Land Lord, Tang Jianwei was hungry and tired. She didn't dare to imagine the consequences of her wrong step. She only knew that she had to bring food back, otherwise Zitan and her sister would be hungry.

"Today, my daughter is in trouble, and I have no choice but to offend all the earth immortal masters. I hope that the earth immortal masters will not be offended. If the daughter becomes rich in the future, I will definitely give the masters the cakes of the past, and I will never break my promise."

When she promised the Land Lord, she actually had no idea in her heart.

She wasn't sure if she would ever be rich again.

Is there still a place for her in this world that may collapse at any time?

"Ashin—!"

His hands were covered in blood and mud, and Tong Shaoxuan had already been soaked by the rain.

She couldn't tell the difference between the rainwater and the muddy water on her body, she knelt on a mess of mud and rocks, and continued digging without stopping for a moment.

Suddenly, she grabbed a corner of the cloth.

This is Tang Jianwei's shirt.

Tong Shaoxuan was overjoyed that Tang Jianwei was already in front of her eyes, she could no longer use wooden branches or stones to dig, otherwise Tang Jianwei might be hurt.

She dug with her bare hands.

"Ah Shen, I'm here, do you hear my voice?"

After receiving the edict of marriage from the emperor, Tang Jianwei got a hint from Wei Ci's words.

Ye Niang was really killed.

She was both happy and wronged, and Wei Ci helped her open a heavy door. Outside the door was an unpredictable long distance, which required her to move forward step by step.

What will be encountered ahead, she does not know.

What kind of crisis there will be is unknown.

She doesn't even know whether she can vindicate Ye Niang in this life, whether she can return to Boling again.

Although she told herself again and again in her heart, don't hesitate, go forward, and you will know the answer.

But this is also the first time she left Ye Niang's protection, and was ruthlessly thrown into the world of mortals. She couldn't help but feel anxious, and couldn't help thinking that she might be exposed to the wilderness at any time.

The once noble lady of Boling has become a mortal woman, wandering nervously between the boundless world.

Living in the wind and sleeping in the open, the sky is full of stars, she counts the stars one by one, wanting to know which one is her Aye and which one is her Aniang.

But she didn't recognize it.

Ye Niang left just like that, and her sister was also sick, too sick to recognize her.

The home is gone, and the person who loved her the most has gone.

Forced to leave their hometown and exiled to a completely strange place.

Abandoned, lied to...

From now on, will anyone still care about me?

Shen!

She heard someone calling her small print.

Shen!

who is it?

The Milky Way melted and turned into muddy mud, covering the sky and covering the sky, leaving her nowhere to escape.

She was caught in the mud flow and couldn't breathe.

The voice calling to her continued.It hit the door of her heart one after another.

"Ashin!"

Tong Shaoxuan tugged at her arm and finally pulled her out of the mud.

Tang Jianwei's body suddenly became lighter, and she smelled the smell of rain.

Tong Shaoxuan didn't know whether she was crying or laughing, her hands were trembling, and she cleaned up the foreign objects in Tang Jianwei's mouth and nose.

Inadvertently blowing into her ears, pressing the middle, calling her.

Tang Jianwei remembered.

She slowly opened her eyes, and saw Tong Shaoxuan who was in a daze.

"A Nian..." It was her A Nian who called her.

It was the one who was willing to be beaten for her, and would not say a word even after being beaten to pieces.

It was the one who cared about her warmth in winter and served her cool in summer, who hugged her tightly in the world of impermanence.

Tong Shaoxuan used almost all his strength to hoop Tang Jianwei into his body.

The ecstasy of finding it again made her speechless.

Ge Xunqing closed the door, and the temperature in the room slowly rose.

"Then it's settled." Ge Xunqing said to Liu Qiniang, "Don't go back on your word."

Liu Qiniang propped her chin with one hand, pouted her lips, and looked at the long-necked jug in front of her that was gradually steaming.

For the full moon, Lu Lan always had a kind of fear in her heart.

The fuller and brighter the full moon was, the more disturbing she was.

Shi Ruzhuo knelt in front of the two corpses, weeping endlessly.

Lu Lanxin stepped forward and squinted to see the corpse clearly.

Sixth Sister-in-Law opened her eyes in panic, a deep gash was cut on her neck, and the blood had already soaked the weeds under her body.

Shi Rumo crouched not far from Mrs. Six, with a sharp knife sticking out of his back.This knife is exactly the same as the dagger that Lu Lanxin usually uses, and it is a handy weapon smelted in the iron smelting workshop of the Lan family.

Shi Ruzhuo pulled out the sharp knife, closed his mother's eyes, and wept beside them.

Lu Lan had never seen Shi Ruzhuo so sad.

Shi Ruzhuo has always been very strong, no matter how he bullies her, she will swallow the pain in her stomach.With such a strong self-esteem, she must be extremely sad at this moment.

Lu Lan felt in her heart that she should say something comforting.

She walked behind Shi Ruzhuo, knelt down slowly, opened her arms unnaturally, and wrapped Shi Ruzhuo into her arms.

Shi Ruzhuo was so skinny, he got in within a circle.

Shi Ruzhuo's body was constantly shaking from crying, and Lu Lan knew that his embrace might not be warm at all to Shi Ruzhuo.

She felt that hugging was not enough, she needed to say something.

Lu Lan rested her chin on Shi Ruzhuo's narrow shoulders, raised the corners of her mouth, and after thinking for a moment, said in a dry and hoarse voice:

"Alright. From now on, you... only me."

After saying this sentence, she herself felt that she seemed to have said it wrong.

Shi Ruzhuo stopped crying immediately.

Lu Lan saw the person in his arms looking back slowly, with overwhelming hatred in his eyes.

Shi Ruzhuo grabbed the sharp knife that was stained with the blood of his relatives, grabbed Lu Lan's heart away with his elbow.

This blow was so powerful that Lu Lan's heart was knocked to the ground by her.

When Lu Lanxin looked back again, he saw Shi Ruzhuo holding the sharp knife in both hands, with his eyes wide open, stabbing Lu Lanxin fiercely in the chest.

blah blah blah...

A group of horses stopped behind Tong Shaoxuan and Tang Jianwei.

More than 100 soldiers armed with weapons stared at them in the heavy rain.

Not far away, there are two people dressed as generals, riding tall horses, surrounding them from the other side.

Tang Jianwei was still in a semi-comatose state, Shen Huiyu and others were missing, and Tong Shaoxuan faced more than 100 people alone.

She clenched the knife she had just dug out of the mud, and stumbled to her feet.

"Don't be afraid, I will protect you."

Tong Shaoxuan, who had never held a knife before, held it awkwardly, but she still stood in front of Tang Jianwei and pointed the blade at the enemy.
