A few extra steps between the two people, but it's just a stone's throw away, and it's close to the end of the world.

Princess Jingxian trembled, pinched the hand of Jinpa, and suddenly hung down, and a few strands of green silk slipped out of her sideburns, lining her flower-like face, a little more powerless and depressed.

Dou An also stayed there, silent, hanging his head slightly, letting the silence between the two of them not cross the coldness of the years.

Princess Jingxian took a deep breath, her lips opened slightly, and she began to whisper -

"Look at the color of the silver water, and the one who rectifies the ingot, look at its bottom face, and judge its path, and where the silver is made. But like silver water, there are all kinds of hands, and it is important to examine it carefully. If the whole ingot has no heavy edge, there is no doubt about the lead. ”

"Weigh the scales, and sort them out. Take it up with your feet, don't make one high or one low, but always live in your hands. If you call a small one, you must have a flat mouth, and if you call a big one, you must have flat eyebrows, and you must not be in a trance. The number can be reported only after weighing. ”

"Men are ambitious. I originally hoped to make small profits, thinking that it was a way to support my family, and I must not gamble and waste it. Anyone who takes a boat and closes the shop, must be young and old, see thoroughly, and keep firm, so that the East can be trusted, and the parents can rest assured. ”

……

"The Beginning of Business" (Note 1).

What the woman is reciting is "The Beginning of Business and the World", which is her other self buried in the bottom of her heart, and it is the business knowledge he taught her under the peach blossom tree in Houyuan back then.

This scene is too weird.

Shinong industry and commerce, business is the cheapest. The dignified princess of Wei is reciting the words of Shang Jia, very fluent, very familiar, and very natural.

It's as if she didn't know how many times she had read it in private, and she was ripe for it, and she memorized it backwards, and in the days when he was away, she thought about it like this, and she was familiar with it in her chest.

Familiar with the chest, word by word, but there is no response.

Dou An's lips opened and closed a few times, as if he wanted to interrupt, for fear that the wall would have ears and cause a storm again, but he couldn't say it after all, and he was exhausted with all his strength, and he was powerless to stop her.

So, one backs, one listens. It was as if the master was checking the student's homework, exactly like he and she were back then.

Finally, Princess Jingxian finished reciting the whole book, she looked at Dou An, and the crystal flashed in her eyes: "...... Brother An...... Lo and behold...... Am I reciting it right......"

The questioning was exactly the same as it was back then.

Whenever he tested her homework with a straight face, she always raised her little face, memorized it word for word, and then asked him with sparkling eyes.

"Brother An, am I back it right?"

"Yes, all right. However, it was all wrong. Dou An didn't look up, his voice was hoarse, and he didn't have the slippery look he had half a minute ago.

"All right and all wrong?" Princess Jingxian was stunned, the book she hid in the celadon pillow for four years, the book she turned the pages over, how could it be all wrong.

Dou An sighed silently, nodded, and shook his head again: "It was all right back then, but now it's all wrong." ”

Princess Jingxian's little face stiffened suddenly, and a dead ash rose from between her eyebrows: "Since it's all right, why can't it be right? ”

"When I said goodbye, there was no right place. If there is anything left, it is just wrong. Dou An finally raised his head, took a step, and walked towards Jingxian, a few steps away, he walked very slowly, his steps were very heavy, and the night was surging under his eyes.

"I've been looking for you for four years, and it's only been four years, and there are still many years for the rest of my life. If you have four years left, you can't be right for the rest of your life?" Princess Jingxian watched Dou An walk towards her, her voice trembled, her eyes became redder, but the tears did not fall.

Even if the lake accumulated in the eye socket, the tears did not fall.

Just like she was buried for four years. Under the noble and glamorous appearance, another self is buried.

"When you say goodbye, everything else is the rest of your life. ”

Dou An approached Jingxian, his eyes were as deep as the sea, he slowly raised a hand, as if he wanted to pin the green silk that slipped out of the woman's sideburns behind her ear, but finally retracted -

He used to do that a lot.

The princess who is dignified and quiet in front of the person, and does not have half a hair messy, but only under the peach tree in the back garden, in front of him, will learn from the master to shake his head and recite the book, so that the green silk on the sideburns is scattered.

But he always helped her not to go back.

However, she laughed so hard that she couldn't stop laughing.

It's a pity that it was only four years ago, but it seems like the first half of a lifetime.

Jing Xian's eyebrows became thicker, and the last glimmer of light in her eyes struggled to extinguish, but she stubbornly refused: "Brother An, you will be the last, will you call me Xianxian?"

Xianxian. He was the only one who called her. She also only needs him to call. The vulgar little words, but she regards them as treasures.

Dou An's face was unbearable, but he seemed to think of something, and finally turned into perseverance: "I am only calling for stumbling now." ”

Similar intonation, different people. Another shadow has already occupied his heart, and what he missed is over, and no one can go back.

Jingxian's tears suddenly fell.

I had endured it for so long without shedding half a teardrop, but when I heard the little words he called another woman, it was like a flood that burst the embankment, and all of it poured out at once.

Dou An suppressed the hand that wanted to wipe away the tears, looked away, and said in a dumb voice: "That book is burned." You, a princess, look at this, in case you are noticed by others that day, you will avoid bloodshed. Leave. ”

After saying that, Dou An turned around and left, without hesitation in his footsteps, and without looking back.

Princess Jingxian stood in place, watching the back disappear, no trace of it, a gust of evening breeze blowing, although it was the height of summer, she felt cold to the bones.

Long. Until the last spark in his eyes went out, and finally turned into pitch black.

Jing Xiancai slowly raised her hand, wiped away her tears, cut her makeup and hair, and her face returned to the dignified and calm of a princess, seamless and flawless.

She walked towards the sedan chair and the palace maid not far away, and like the man, she did not hesitate in her steps, and did not turn her head back.

"Get up the sedan chair!" With a low shout, the sedan chair passed through Chang'an City in the night and headed towards the princess's mansion.

This scene fell on the bottom of Li Zhiye's eyes, but it stirred up faint ripples.

"My son was curious before, when the princess who was the most calm and polite princess in the royal family would sneak out of the house and come to a place of fireworks. It turned out that he would be a little white-faced. ”

Li Zhiye stood on the corner of the street, his face couldn't see joy and anger, and his tone was a little cold: "Although it's just a marriage chess, it's the future wife of this son, something ugly happened, and it's not good for my son." ”

The little guy next to him smiled conformistically: "The princess has always been dissatisfied with this marriage, so the princess is virtuous, and let the minions keep an eye on the princess's mansion, so as not to take the initiative to crook his brain, so that he will bump into this stubble." I didn't expect a good princess to have an unsightly dirtiness. ”

Even when Princess Dawei was mentioned, the little maid looked disdainful, but looked at Li Zhiye's gaze, full of flattery: "What are you going to do?" But do you want to tell the emperor and cancel the plan of marriage? Anyway, the holy decree has not been issued yet, and to put it mildly, the emperor is still just a thought." ”

"Nope. Even if Jingxian is not, this marriage has to be concluded. Li Zhiye raised his eyebrows, "Moreover, I have to advance it, let my father deliver a message to the emperor tomorrow and settle it as soon as possible." Holy decree, lest the night be long and dreamy. ”

The little guy frowned puzzled: "Why did you bump into this kind of thing, not only did you not stop, but you also rushed up?"

"Five surnames and seven hopes, very Yaoxuanhe. The heart of Sima Zhao of the Wang family can no longer be hidden, the emperor's health is becoming more and more bad, King Zhao is close to the water and the tower is the first to get the moon, and the king of Jin is eyeing him. This day the world is changing, no, it has already come. Li Zhiye stretched out a hand and shook it towards the back of Jingxian's sedan chair.

Fang Fu grasped something in the void and lit up the heat in his eyes.

"A storm is brewing, if the anchor is not heavy enough, how can you chase heroes?"
