The second time

The moon is clear and the wind is light.

I sat in the woods with the horses, watching the horses roam leisurely.

He opened the wine jar, took a sip before handing it to me, and said with a smile: "Uncle Ouyang didn't lie to me, it is really Yulu wine, I remember you said that when you lost Qi Yue, you loved the crisp and cold fragrance of this wine the most, and specially asked someone to find it." ”

I took it and took a sip on the wine jar, the day before the wedding, the bride was not allowed to go out of the boudoir, and she was not allowed to see any man, even her father and brother. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but smile slightly: "If my mother knows that I am messing around with you like this, she will definitely blame me." ”

He looked disapproving: "If you are as strict as others, how can I bring you here." ”

I looked at him, my youngest brother, under the moonlight, has become a handsome man, in a few years, I don't know how many daughters' delicate thoughts should be broken between talking and laughing, but the unruliness in his bones has always been a headache for his parents.

He was very smart since he was a child, his father originally wanted him to enter the court as an official, but he didn't like the red tape of officialdom, and he entered the Yulin Army in the sunset, but he was deeply loved by the general Ouyang Tingzhao.

I don't know how much he learned about the art of war and the ability to march and fight, but such a tall and vigorous skill, as well as a frank and upright personality, are undoubtedly not possessed by the other brothers.

I don't know if it's because of this, after my parents came home from me two years ago, although I don't remember the past, and even my parents and siblings are more or less estranged, but I am very close to this younger brother.

"Second sister, will Mr. Su come tomorrow?" the question interrupted my thoughts.

I raised my eyes, but my right hand unconsciously touched my left arm, and under the thin silk, the phoenix was bathed in fire and was about to fly.

Once, someone used alchemy cinnabar to trace it carefully for me, one stroke at a time, and smiled gently.

Alchemy cinnabar is bright in color and lasts for a long time, so it is extremely difficult to find. At that time, I was still unable to see because of the injuries from the cliff, and I only knew that he was covering the scar on my arm that could not fade.

What is it?, I asked.

He chuckled gently, and the phoenix gathered fragrant wood*, and was reborn from the flames. Qing'er, this is your new life from now on.

He took me to travel to the world's famous rivers and rivers, taught me to know the astrological medicine, under the begonia flower tree, the sky full of golden needles flying like a rain of flowers.

He created this set of tanghua needles for me, little by little, holding a little bit. It's just that my body was greatly damaged after falling off the cliff, and although I have been conditioned several times, I am no longer suitable for practicing martial arts. And he said that in this world, the only thing he can really rely on is himself. So he taught me the ability to protect myself.

"Second sister?"

The dust was like smoke, and the voice broke my deep memories in time, seeing his puzzled eyebrows, I smiled faintly, restrained my discordant thoughts, and said lightly: "No." ”

A look of yearning and regret appeared between his eyebrows: "It's a pity, Hanyu Gongzi Su Xiumian, I originally wanted to meet this legendary figure." I knew that Mr. Su had saved you in the first place, so I went with them to pick you up in person. ”

I lowered my eyelashes slightly, covering the emotions in my eyes, and before I could say anything, I had already smiled with relief: "There will always be a chance, tomorrow, I will be famous all over the world, and I can try Jianmeishan with him." ”

Between the eyebrows is an indescribably handsome posture, youthful spirit, chasing the wind with a sword.

I smiled slightly, got up and took the Qin Zheng from the horse, twisted it slowly, and the notes poured out one by one.

Tong Jian raised his eyebrows and laughed loudly: "Second sister, you still know me best." ”

Between the words, the long sword was unsheathed, and the sword light flashed, and Jiao was like a dragon.

"Nine heavens, the intention is late, the hand sends the seven-string tong, and the sword leans against the sky. The four seas are flat, the six are closed, the solitary drunk and laughing on the battlefield, and the glass of wine is long in the sky......"

The sound of the zither is agitated, urging the sword momentum, and the long sword is like a rainbow, gathering momentum. The last move of the sword is fixed, and I point to the next song "General Order", which is just right, and the sound of the sword dance and zither is perfectly coordinated.

I looked up, looked at him and smiled.

After the sword dance, he was already sweating profusely, but he couldn't hide his eyebrows, and he was full of spirit. He wiped his sleeves on his forehead in a chic manner, and said with a smile: "It's been a long time since I've been so happy, second sister, if you leave, where can I find someone to accompany me to play the kite and dance the sword......"

Before the words were finished, his smile faded, thinking that he remembered that I was going to marry into the palace tomorrow, and his expression was a little dull.

I didn't say anything, I didn't want to say anything like I would have a chance in the future, but I smiled and watched him lie down on the grass beside me, with his hands propped on the back of his head, looking at the heavy sky.

"Third sister's marriage contract, why do you have to accept it? The palace is not suitable for you. After a while, his voice came from its side, and it sounded as calm as water.

I smiled faintly: "This marriage contract is the will of the heavenly family, and there is no news from Yun'er, so I can't sit idly by and watch the disaster of the entire family come." ”

A bit of mockery flashed in his eyes: "Since you can't remember the past, why do you spend your life with a family that can be regarded as a stranger, even the third sister knows how to fight for herself." ”

"It's as if you're not part of this family. I laughed and reached out to pat him on the face, not wanting to continue the conversation.

He looked at me for a long time, turned his head, looked at the stars again, and said, "I'm sorry, second sister." ”

I turned to look at him in surprise, but he didn't look at me, but his voice came from itself, with some helplessness and self-deprecation: "I can't help you live the life you want to live." ”

I softened my heart and smiled lightly at him, "How do you know this isn't the life I want to live?"

"You are calm and free-spirited, not an ordinary boudoir woman can compare, marrying into the palace, in the eyes of outsiders, glorious, in my opinion, just wronged you. And His Royal Highness," he said without thinking, but he paused at this moment, and after a while, he continued, sighing slightly: "I may not be willing to bother to know your good." ”

I smiled and didn't speak, but he still didn't want to be too embarrassed to let everyone save face.

Although I have only been back in Beijing for two years and have never met this Third Highness, I have never heard of his various elegant deeds.

Seeing that I was silent, he turned his head to look at me: "Second sister, you should be like Mr. Su, free as you like, with mountains and rivers and stars as your companion, and you should not be bound by these worldly fetters." Perhaps, if we don't come to you, you will be better off. ”

I lowered my eyes and smiled, hiding the shallow sadness in my eyes, and unexpectedly remembered the desperation when he personally sent me out of the valley two years ago, and it was not that I could stay if I wanted to.

His life is incomparable, and my unexpected arrival has disturbed him for three years, which is too long.

Looking up again, my eyes were already clear, I didn't see it, I just smiled at the bright moon: "Since the flowing water is ruthless, why bother to be obsessed with red, it is better to turn into spring mud, at least, you can protect those who care about me and those I care." ”
