[The Legend of Mulan] Daughter Love

The embroidery building of Jinxiu Villa has been completely surrounded by fire, and the clamoring tongues of flames indicate a merciless disaster.Thick smoke was billowing, and the sky filled with fire in the embroidery building was unbearably hot.Zhiqing woke up with the feeling of being roasted in a steamer, and the ruthless heat wave that wanted to roast people tightly surrounded her. She thought she was dreaming. In the past dreams, she often had this feeling, which made her suffocate, Fear... Zhiqing squinted her eyes and looked at the dark and red surroundings. This is not the tent where she lived in Rouran in her dream, but this is - Xiulou!She finally woke up completely, and remembered that she was knocked out by someone, and that person must be Luo Zhao!He picked up the vegetable oil, probably setting it on fire premeditatedly, so as to kill her and burn her to death.

The burning beams were falling down, with a crackling sound, and landed on the ground with a bang.Zhiqing held her head in horror, collapsed on the ground, couldn't help trembling all over, and couldn't see a way out around her. With this fateful misfortune, would she still be burned to death?If she dies, what will happen to grandpa, what will happen to Luoshen Manor, the peaceful life she has always wanted is not enough... There is a series of screams uncontrollably from her lips, she can't die, she doesn't want to die, why!Why is she living so desperately, this damn fate still wants to take everything from her!

She cried and shouted hoarsely, she really didn't want to die!

"Zhiqing! Zhiqing!" Someone called her from outside the raging flames surrounded by thick smoke, "Zhiqing, where are you!"

"I'm here, I'm here." When Zhiqing responded, she realized that she was exhausted, her voice was not only hoarse, but even choked by the thick smoke, she couldn't make any sound. "I'm here, I'm... help me..."

Who can save her, the surrounding fire has surrounded her, and the surrounding circle is getting smaller and smaller.There was a clang, and a thick, burnt-black wooden beam fell from overhead, and just as she closed her eyes to die—

Suddenly, a muffled hum came from her ear, accompanied by heavy breathing, but she felt neither pain nor burning. "You, are you okay?"

Zhiqing couldn't believe her ears, she turned her head and stared at Xie Qichen, who had messy hair, she lowered her head and saw his burnt arm, "General Xie..."

"Let's go!" He didn't care about his injured arm, he half hugged and half supported Zhiqing through the continuous fire formation, trying to avoid the continuously falling burning fire logs at any time.

Huge beams hit the ground and broke beside them, like fireballs, which could kill people at any time.Even with Xie Qichen by her side, Zhiqing felt that she would probably still be burned to death here, but it only hurt the people around her who risked their lives to save her.She looked at him with a sense of guilt, sadness and despair.

The whole embroidery building has turned into a house covered in fire. Just when everyone thought it was about to collapse, someone kicked open the fire door that was burned to nothing, and quickly flew out.Xie Qichen hugged Zhiqing and rolled on the ground several times until the flames on his body were extinguished, he coughed a few times to choke on the thick smoke in his mouth, and shook the person in his arms whose face was blackened by the smoke,

"Zhiqing, wake up! Zhiqing..."

Zhiqing lifted an eyelid, vaguely saw Xie Qichen's anxious face, and then passed out, unconscious.

A fire in Jinxiu Villa not only burned Heqintu to ashes, but also burned all the looms and silks of Fuling's family, and Si Niang's hard work over the years was burned.It took several days for Zhiqing to wake up, and many things happened, including Tuoba Shao, the former prince of the Great Wei Dynasty, committed suicide, and Wufeng Valley finally returned to calm.These things were mentioned by Mulan and Zisu when they came to see her. Fu Ling also came alone. Knowing Duo Lun's choice.

She covered the quilt and leaned against the head of the bed, keeping the disturbances of others out of her thoughts.The scorching sun at the end of winter was extraordinarily warm. Looking at the warmth outside the window, her eyes got wet unconsciously. It felt so good to be alive.

"Is your young lady awake?" A deep voice outside the room attracted Zhiqing's attention, making her heart inexplicably excited, because he was the only one alive.

Xiu'er's crisp voice sounded, "General Xie, my lady is awake."

Xie Qichen stepped into Zhiqing's boudoir, saw her hanging her head as if thinking about something, he stood in the hallway and looked at her from afar. "are you better?"

Zhiqing regained her senses, raised her head and smiled at Xie Qichen, "I'm much better, thank you General." According to Xiu'er, during the few days she was in a coma, he would come every day.

There was a moment of silence in the room, neither of them knew how to speak.Xie Qichen looked at Zhiqing for a while, then sat stiffly at the table and faced her sideways, looking outside the door without speaking, with an unspeakable emotion in his eyes.

"General, have a glass of water." Zhiqing turned her head and looked at Xie Qichen, who was still sitting upright.

"Okay." Xie Qichen took a teapot and poured himself a glass of water, took a sip, and said after deliberation: "Both Huanhuayuan and Mulan have completed the embroidery of the second picture of peace."

"That's right, although one was burned, there is still another picture of the marriage. Finally, Da Wei will not break his promise to Rou Ran." Zhi Qing said softly.

Xie Qichen nodded directly, and looked at Zhiqing with soft eyes. She is always different from ordinary women, intelligent, smart and generous.After fighting for many years, he never thought that he would have anything to do with his son and daughter's love, but now there is such a person in front of him that touches his heart all the time.

"If the Wei State and Rouran Zhi war are repaired, Xie Qichen will take off his armor and return to the field. Would you like to be the embroiderer next to an ordinary farmer?"

Zhiqing felt as if her heart skipped a beat, the words just now... came from his mouth?She looked at Xie Qichen who was sitting upright still looking directly at the door, for a while, her heart was pounding and she couldn't speak anymore.

Xie Qichen sat at the table and waited for a while, seeing Zhiqing leaning against the bed in a daze without any response, he finally felt that he was too abrupt, but it was hard to take back what he said once he said it.He got up in embarrassment, and hurriedly left Qianxiu Pavilion.After that day, Xie Qichen never came to Luoshen Manor again, and Zhiqing's body gradually recovered during the difficult days.

More than 20 days before the date agreed with Rouran, County Magistrate Chen suddenly visited Luoshen Manor, discussed with Babeican, and decided to host the connection with Qintu in front of the county government early the next morning.

After County Magistrate Chen left, Zhiqing also heard about it, and she would go tomorrow. Grandpa had agreed to the request in Xie Qichen's letter, and she and Mulan would make a marriage plan together.It is the glory of the entire Wufeng Valley to successfully complete the Heqintu. Luoshen Manor does not need a plaque or a gold reward, but its prestige must always be there.Zhiqing knew this truth very well, and it was also her responsibility, so she did not shirk Xie Qichen's kindness.

In the early morning, the folks from Wufenggu gathered around the county government office. The gates of the county government office were wide open, and the servants brought out three mahogany table frames, with a gold basin in the middle and two silver basins on both sides. The ceremony of weaving and embroidery session is held.Babeican officially handed over the honor of washing hands in the golden basin to Jia Yun, and Zhiqing and Mulan will become the new embroidered women who wash hands in the silver basin.

At three o'clock in the morning, under the witness of the folks, the ceremony began.Babeican looked at Zhiqing with relief, and Xie Qichen who was standing beside him also focused on every movement of Zhiqing.After the ceremony is completed, Mulan and Zhiqing will join together.Looking at the gorgeous silk, the two couldn't help but smile at each other.

"Zhiqing, let's go together and see who can complete the link first?" Mulan suggested.

Zhiqing curled her lips confidently, "Let's start." Seeing Mulan lightly pick up the embroidery needle and thread the needle on one side of the marriage picture, she walked to the other side, took out her own embroidery needle from her body, and gently touched it. Throwing, the flying needle comes out, flowing like clouds and flowing water.

The needle seemed to be alive, moving back and forth with the silk thread in her hand. This flying embroidery technique is a unique skill of Luoshen Manor, which amazed everyone present.This is the effect that Zhiqing wants. Although grandpa has given up the position of the golden basin, Luoshen Manor's position in Wufeng Valley will never be shaken.
