[Seven-five] Sunflowers are warm

During the Shangyuan Festival, the lanterns are like stars, winding and continuous, embellishing the long street, like sparks starting a prairie fire, like sparkling waves, like dreams and illusions, with no end.Although it is a beautiful day, there are many frustrated people in the dark under the lights.Zhan Zhao stood quietly, and after a long time, he gently pushed Ding Yuehua away a little, apologetic, guilty, helpless, all kinds of feelings lingered in his heart, it was hard to put it into words, and it could only be a sigh in the end. "Yuehua, you shouldn't have come." The matter has come to this point, any further entanglement will only increase her sadness, and it will not benefit her reputation.

Ding Yuehua burst into tears, feeling aggrieved, "Brother Zhan..."

Why doesn't Zhan Zhao miss her in his heart, after all, she is the girl he loves, and he is also happy to meet her.When he spoke again, his tone was much gentler, "Does your family know that you are coming to Bianjing?"

Ding Yuehua's eyes dodged, he hesitated and couldn't answer why.Naturally, the family didn't know about it, and they were discussing to find another marriage for her.If it wasn't for Xu Xiangyang's meddling, she and Zhan Zhao would be married in May of this year.Seeing her like this, Zhan Zhao understood, and sighed, "Aren't you worrying the family? Go back earlier."

"I'll write a letter and go back to make sure I'm safe." After finally coming out, how could I just go back like this?Seeing that Zhan Zhao frowned, he knew that he wanted to preach, so he hurriedly said: "I finally came here, so I have to visit the lantern festival tonight, right? Mr. Zhan, do you have time to accompany the girl?"

Looking into her bright eyes, Zhan Zhao couldn't refuse.I found an excuse for myself in my heart, although the relationship between husband and wife was broken, but we can still be friends, she came from a long way, and she wanted to receive him no matter what, so she nodded with a smile.Ding Yuehua smiled happily, pointed at the small stall selling wishing lanterns in front, and said, "Let's go and put up a lantern as well, just to ask for favors."

The two lamps slowly slid into the water, and with the undulating waves of the water, they slowly moved away.Ding Yuehua watched the two points of light gradually go away, and bent his eyes, "Brother Zhan, I hope we can have a reunion one day." Zhan Zhao didn't want to spoil her interest, so he could only laugh it off.Ding Yuehua said again: "What wish did you make?"

Zhan Zhao said indifferently: "Peace." Wishing is just a sustenance in the heart, how much can a small lantern carry?Is it possible to realize what you want in your heart?I only hope that everyone around me is safe and healthy.

Ding Yuehua was not surprised, "Brother Zhan, can't you think about yourself? Even when you put on a lamp and make a wish, you think about the common people in the world. Such a wish will surely come true, and your lamp will never sink."

Zhan Zhao got up and said, "How can this be taken seriously?" He has good eyesight, and saw a lamp being knocked over by waves from a distance, his star pupils dimmed slightly.Even if I don't believe it anymore, there is still a trace of regret in my heart.Yuehua's lamp sank.

After the fifteenth day, Zhan Zhao started to get busy again.Xu Xiangyang was still doing her embroidery work in the yard.After seeing Ding Yuehua on the night of Shangyuan Festival, she thought that the peaceful days would be broken again, and even prepared for the storm, but Ding Yuehua never came to look for her, and Zhan Zhao was no different from usual.I was uneasy for a long time, and it was not until the first month came out that there was no difference, and then I was relieved.As for the unspeakable emotions in her heart, she dared not express at all, for fear of arousing Zhan Zhao's resentment.It wasn't something she could covet, no matter how she yearned for it, she had to keep it in her heart and stick to her duty.

One day at the beginning of February, a yamen servant in front of her came to invite her to Mr. Bao's study.She was surprised, why did she suddenly ask her to go to the study?If it is related to any case, it is only the case of hiding the corpse, which was solved as early as last year.For this short distance, she walked nervously, fearing that if she did something wrong, there would be another disturbance.

After entering the study and meeting Li, she stood aside cautiously.Mr. Gongsun said in a harmonious voice: "Miss, don't be cautious. I invite you here today to discuss something with you."

Xu Xiangyang looked up at Mr. Gongsun, he didn't understand, so what should I discuss with her? "Mr. Gongsun, if you need anything, just ask, I will do my best."

Zhan Zhao said: "Xuzhou suffered a flood last year, and now the post-disaster reconstruction has been completed. My lord is ordered to go on tour in disguise to check on the reconstruction and farming conditions. Our group will pretend to be a family looking for relatives and go to Xuzhou to investigate secretly. Your lord is the master, and the husband is the housekeeper." , Zhang Long, Zhao Hu and I are guards. The master said that you have a delicate mind and are good at cooking, so I want you to pretend to be a maid and accompany you. If you want, you can go together."

Xu Xiangyang never expected that they would let her go with them regardless of past suspicions, and he felt joy in his heart, showing a slightly shy smile, and said to Mr. Bao: "Thank you, Mr. Xiangyang, for not giving up, and Xiangyang will do his best to cooperate."

Master Bao nodded and told her to go back after a few words of advice.There is no shortage of maids in Kaifeng Mansion, if Mr. Gongsun did not recommend them, Xu Xiangyang would never be able to get her turn.Mr. Gongsun's heart of helping is obvious, Master Bao has no objection.Since Zhan Wei is married to her, it is not a long-term solution to be so awkward. Since she has forgotten the past, why not give her a chance?It's always good to be kind to people.Furthermore, today's Xu Xiangyang is indeed a well-educated, gentle and virtuous girl, quiet and beautiful, and ingenious.Besides, she is Zhan Wei's wife, so she can take care of her along the way, so she is a good candidate.

The date of the trip was scheduled to be five days later, and the schedule was not in a hurry, so Xu Xiangyang started packing early.This trip, it is said that she is pretending to be a servant girl, but in fact she is a servant girl, and she has to take care of the daily life and food of Master Bao and others.Sister-in-law Wang heard the news from Wang Dynasty and came to congratulate her cheerfully. Isn't this a great happy event for Xu Xiangyang?

Since Xu Xiangyang got the news, he has been wearing a faint smile for several days.Even Zhan Zhao secretly thought that her appearance with lowered eyebrows and light smile was extremely gentle, like a crescent moon reflected in the water, occasionally crumpled by the wind, rippled round and round, rippling with gentle light.She smiled lightly, "Sister-in-law just happened to come, I'm leaving in two days, and I want to ask you to take care of those chickens for me."

Sister-in-law Wang said with a hearty smile, "Success, just don't worry, I will take care of you at home." It's just a few chickens, just come and feed them once a day.

Entrusting it to Mrs. Wang, she has nothing to worry about.After chatting for a few words, I suddenly remembered the little things I made in the past few days, and hurried to get them, and handed them to Mrs. Wang. "I originally wanted to make a rabbit fur scarf for Yanzhen, but seeing the weather getting hotter, the scarf might not be practical, so I made a few rabbit fur ball hair clips instead. It's very nice for the little girl to keep it in her hair." Delicate and pleasing." Wang Yanzhen has a personality like Mrs. Wang, a hearty girl, especially at this age who loves beauty.She happened to have some rabbit fur left on hand, so she couldn't do anything else, but this was just right.She likes children, especially girls, when they are well-groomed.

Sister-in-law Wang is now in love with Xu Xiangyang from the bottom of her heart. This girl is really nice.Careful and thoughtful, although she somewhat has the intention to befriend her, but she is sincere, unlike some people who flatter and flatter her.Small folk remedies, some food, gadgets, simple and comfortable, neither arrogant nor impetuous, down-to-earth, there are so many good things to say.Such a good girl, how could she not think about doing such a thing at the beginning?It's not that simple to turn the situation around now, it's really bewildering!

Putting away the hairpin, Mrs. Wang said earnestly: "The truth of what you did before...don't think about it now that you have forgotten it. The most important thing is to live a good life in the future. It is rare for Mr. Gongsun to recommend it. You must not Don't disappoint him."

Xu Xiangyang froze, even if she didn't do it, she didn't want to mention that disgraceful past.Biting her lip and nodding, Mrs. Wang said these words with good intentions, but, "Sister-in-law, I don't remember anything about the past. Do you know what's going on in my family?"

Sister-in-law Wang sighed, and said slowly: "Your father is a talented teacher, and the family has a few acres of land for planting, and the life is not bad. Later, your father fell ill, and the medical treatment and medicine exhausted the family's wealth, but he couldn't save it. , your mother couldn't bear the shock, so she went with a serious illness. The death of both parents exhausted the family wealth, leaving only two dilapidated thatched huts and a three-point vegetable field in front of the house. You were desperate and sold yourself as a slave. Fortunately, you met Mr. Zhan, With his help, I found an errand in Kaifeng Mansion to make a living. Later..."

Xu Xiangyang understood, and said again: "Where is my home? Although I don't remember anything, I should go back to worship my parents during Qingming." There is still a house and a third of land at home, and there is also a place to stay away from here, so I won't sleep in the open.

"I don't know about it, you have to ask Mr. Zhan."

Xu Xiangyang was a little disappointed, how dare she talk to Zhan Zhaoduo.Especially after learning that Ding Yuehua was coming, she hid even further, fearing that something might cause Ding Yuehua to misunderstand.

Soon it was the day of departure, and the party was ready to go.Zhan Zhao, Zhang Long, and Zhao Hu rode horses, and there were two other carriages, Master Bao and Mr. Gongsun in one, and Xu Xiangyang in the other.After the luggage was loaded into the car, a red horse at the end of the street came towards this end unhurriedly, and Ding Yuehua's figure approached.

Mr. Gongsun and Mr. Bao looked at each other, with a wry smile on their faces, Miss Ding really persevered.A few days ago, she heard from Zhan Zhaona about Weifu's tour, and she insisted on going with her.It is said that a group of them are guarded by masters, butlers and maidservants, but they are missing a young lady, and that she has martial arts skills, so maybe she can help.They didn't know she was in Bianjing, if they had known earlier, maybe they would have let her go with them.Now that Xu Xiangyang went together, wouldn't it be embarrassing for her to get involved?Especially Zhan Wei, how can he face two girls at the same time?

Ding Yuehua rode his horse to the side of the carriage, got off the horse neatly, smiled at Mr. Bao, and said in a crisp voice, "Father, don't leave your daughter and go looking for relatives alone."

Master Bao suffocated, is this the beginning of the drama?Looking at Zhan Zhao in a blink of an eye, Zhan Zhao sighed and persuaded: "Yuehua, you have been in Bianjing for some time, go back earlier, so as not to worry about your family." Ding Yuehua waved his hand, "I have already written a letter from home to report my safety, It's okay." After finishing speaking, he looked at Xu Xiangyang who was on the side, and smiled brightly, "Miss Xu, long time no see."

Xu Xiangyang tensed his body, smiled forcedly, glanced at Zhan Zhao unconsciously and panicked, and felt that such a small move would provoke the police of Ding Yuehua, so he quickly lowered his head and stared at his toes.Ding Yuehua's expression didn't change, "It's only two months at least, Miss Xu and a girl's family are so boring being sandwiched between you, let me go with you."

Zhan Zhao wanted to persuade him again, but Mr. Bao said, "Miss Ding is right, I'm sorry." If Zhan Huwei can't get over the hurdle in his heart, what's the point?Running away won't solve the problem.Not only Zhan Weiwei, Ding Yuehua should also see the situation clearly, the done deal, there is no turning back.

Xu Xiangyang didn't dare to take another look at Ding Yuehua and Zhan Zhao, got into the car silently, and watched the receding scenery outside the window quietly.Those people and things have nothing to do with her, Zhan Zhao is, Ding Yuehua is, and Kaifeng Mansion is also.Like a snail, she hid in her shell and huddled tightly, unmoved by the wind and rain outside.
