[Qin Shimingyue] On the development of love through improper households

Dinglan Pavilion.

"My lord, I'm going to warm up the wine." The maid said softly.

"No need." I waved my hand, signaling her to back off, "It's been three times... the pear fragrance will fade after a long time."

What a pear fragrance, although it is not as precious as Xifeng, it is still the top grade in the wine.

"My lord, let's go to bed earlier, it's ugly time outside."

"You back off." I said blankly.

Three hours have passed since the appointment time.

I went from a happy face to an expressionless face, but my mood didn't fluctuate much.

I am neither lost nor sad.

I'm just a little sad.

Although it was just a joke, I took it seriously, took out the pear fragrance that I had treasured for a long time, and ordered the cook to prepare exquisite snacks.

Mo Crow was on duty tonight, and he only patted my shoulder lightly when I was drunk and said, "Ah Zhen, the general will check your archery skills tomorrow."

"...I never miss a shot." I put down the wine bottle and murmured, "The wine is a little cold, but the taste is still very good. I'll go out for a walk alone, so you can follow along."

×××

On the empty street, the night wind blows lonely.I sighed and walked aimlessly.

Before he knew it, he walked towards Xiangguo's mansion.

"If you want it, you can't wait for it." I remembered this sentence, and then I saw Zhang Xiaomei who was in a mess.

His clothes were dusty and dirty, and his little face was stained with sweat... I didn't smell the scent of wintersweet incense at all.

Before I could speak, he spoke first: "I haven't forgotten my promise."

"Oh." I lazily replied.

"Shuzi told my father about this, and my father had a quarrel with me, and locked me in the woodshed."

"Oh... you did a good job, you are your biological father." After all, the person who made the appointment was me, the daughter of a courtier.Maybe I thought it was a bureau set up by my father.

"I escaped from the woodshed." Zhang Liang wiped the sweat off his face with his hand, and said firmly, "I will definitely do what I promised you."

"...that's really good!" I threw a brocade handkerchief over, turned my head and said, "It smells musty, it's bad luck, why did you ask you to burn incense with wintersweet?"

"In that case—"

"Zhang Liang, you still missed the appointment."

He fell silent suddenly.

We made an appointment last night, but he appeared today.

Later, when I thought about it, he always seemed to appear out of season, just like the peach blossoms in late spring, the remnant lotus in late autumn, and the overdue youthful feelings.

"Let me take you to a place." After a long time, I broke the deadlock.

"Good," he said.

I have a secret base, and only Mo Ya and I know about it. After today, Mo Ya might blame me for breaking my promise.

Zhang Liang hadn't practiced martial arts at this time, and his physical strength was less than one-third of mine, but he still tried his best to speed up his pace and walked beside me.I can't imagine that this frail and delicate, stubborn and clean boy at this moment will become a resourceful and handsome ovary son many years later.

"Zhang Liang."

"What's the matter, Miss Ji?"

"Call me Ji Zhen, my name sounds much better than Shui Shuzi, but you are not allowed to call me 'Zhenzi'."

"……it is good."

"Are you reluctant?" I turned my face to the side, looked at Zhang Liang's unwillingness, and smacked my mouth, "Am I not as good-looking as that yellow-haired girl Shui Shuzi?"

"You are about the same age as Shuzi and Miss Jizhen, why are you targeting her like this?"

"It's not jealousy...it's envy."

"What does Miss Ji Zhen say?"

"Because she has you." I said with a smile, "What do I really want for such a beloved?"

Zhang Liang frowned slightly: "Miss Ji Zhen, don't make fun of me, Zhang Liang has no grievances with you, and besides, I am not Shuzi's beloved."

"Then would you like to be my lover?"

"Miss Ji Zhen, don't make such a joke again." Zhang Xiaomei seemed to be really angry and stopped looking at me.I knew I was bored, so I just hummed a song.

I often hang out in Hualou, so I will naturally hum some ditties, and "Guanju" is the one I hum the most.

"Guan Guan Jujiu, in the River Continent.

My lady, my gentleman is good.

Variety of Ningxia, left and right.

A pretty lady, she wants it.

I can't wait to ask for it, Wumei Sifu..." I suddenly stopped and said softly: "It's here. "

This is an uninhabited barren mountain named "Dinglan".

It is about Mao time now.

"Look, Zhang Liang, the sky."

The floating clouds were dyed with golden light by the brilliance of the new rising sun, and the cool wind blew through the mist, and the tiredness and hard work were swept away in one fell swoop.That bit of melancholy disappeared without a trace.

A few years ago, I completed my father's mission and lost my servant Ziliang who played chess with me.The wind that night was so waking, Mo Ya brought me to this mountain without saying a word.

The time Ziliang stayed with me was not too long, only one year.He can only play chess and study, nothing else.After I surpassed him in chess, my father used him as a tool for me to improve my archery.

I got the Lixian I dreamed of, and I also lost the boy with a warm smile.

"Zhang Liang, can you play chess?"

"I know a little bit."

"The square is the white piece, and the circle is the black piece. How about we play a game here?" I squatted on the ground, picked up a branch and began to draw the chessboard. Zhang Liang said, "Okay."

Zhang Liang's chess skills are not as he said, he just knows a little bit, I fell into a hard fight, and then lost completely.A few years ago, the scene of Ziliang sitting in the Dinglan Pavilion with Baizi in his hand and playing chess with me appeared again before my eyes.

If Ziliang's chess skills are as superb as Zhang Liang's, maybe he can also accompany me to watch this lonely but magnificent sunrise at this time.

"This mountain is called Dinglan Mountain." I put down the branches, patted the dust on the skirt, stood up slowly, and faced the sky, "Mo Ya brought me here, he said that the sunrise here is very beautiful. It's beautiful, the wind here is very refreshing. I think so too... Zhang Liang, do you think that although the two people standing on the top of the mountain and standing at the foot of the mountain have different status, they are equally insignificant in the eyes of each other."

"...Yes." Zhang Liang nodded and looked at the sky.

"I always feel that I'm different from you guys. My family is so rich, my father is a great general with great power, and I'm capable of both civil and military skills. It's hard to pick a single flaw from me, but here If so, Zhang Liang, you don’t have to feel inferior.” I ignored Zhang Liang’s ever-changing expression, and continued, “So we can be friends here... Your father won’t find out, and neither will my father.”

"The two families of Ji and Zhang have never been on good terms, and we will only be strangers in the end." Zhang Liang's calm words were like a basin of cold water, completely extinguishing my vague enthusiasm.

I took a deep breath and tried my best to resist the urge to beat him up.

No one has ever rejected me over and over again, and I can post it with great patience.

The sun's rays had already enveloped the entire earth, and Zhang Liang's eyebrows and eyes were also in a mess of beauty under the rays.The last thing he said to me was: "Thank you, Ji Zhen."

I seem to remember that before Zi Liang died, he also wrote on my palm: "Ji Zhen, thank you."

This farewell is three years.

What did I say to Zhang Liang in the end?

I said, "Zhang Liang, you have to be strong enough to reject me."
