Back in the courtyard, I sat on the other side, Yinzhen dismissed Su Peisheng and Xiaoshunzi, leaving the two alone.

The moon shines like water, shining coldly in the courtyard. I poured wine for Yinzhen, and Yinzhen took the wine jug and poured it for me personally.

Putting down the flask, he drank the sullen wine one by one, until he was a little drunk, and suddenly said, "Can you, when did I first see you?"

I accompanied him to drink stuffy wine, although I took a little sip every time, but after a long time, I was slightly drunk, and I thought about it and replied: "It should be the Lantern Festival in the forty-first year of Kangxi, right?"

Yin Zhen shook his head with a smile, drank the wine in his hand in one gulp, lowered his head and recalled: "It is the end of Kangxi's forty years. Do you remember the boy who carried a little girl on his back to ask for help at the pharmacy? When you followed them to the ruined temple, you may not have noticed that I was actually following you with my guards. At that time, I thought that the brother and sister were pitiful, and I wanted to help, but I saw that a little girl of yours actually followed them. So I wanted to see what you were going to do. I didn't expect you to go to treat them. “

My heart tightened, and the first thought was, could he have seen my first meeting with Yinyu. But after thinking about it, he felt impossible, because if he had seen Yinyu and me together, he would inevitably be suspicious of the appearance of me and Yinyu when they first met in the study, and how could he only explore the relationship between me and Yinyu and not investigate the involvement with Yinyu. "But...... I hadn't seen you then......" I said tentatively. "Not long after I arrived at the ruined temple, someone spread the word that the emperor in the palace was in a hurry, so I had to leave in a hurry. Yinzhen nodded and said. His words made me breathe a sigh of relief, but then I thought that this might be a kind of miss. If I had met him first, what would I be like now?

"If we had met then, what would it be now?" I asked with a chuckle, asking him as well as myself.

Yin Zhen smiled back, did not answer, and continued: "The Lantern Festival in the forty-first year of Kangxi, originally just went out of the house and walked casually, wanting to see the people's customs and people's feelings, but I didn't expect to see you guessing fourteen lantern riddles for a palace lantern. You should have just turned thirteen years old that year, but she was just a little girl, but she was so smart and dazzling, and she couldn't take her eyes off it at first sight. Looking at your frustration and disappointment at not being able to guess the fifteenth riddle, I don't think that look should be on your face. So I helped you guess the lantern, and I didn't want you to know who sent it. “

I poured him a glass of wine and followed his words, "Actually, I didn't want the lamp, but I guessed it for my sister next door." However, when I got the lantern you asked the boss to send, she had already gone home first, so I ended up putting it in the box, and it must still be in its place. “

Yin Zhen nodded and responded: "It's rare that you still have it." Speaking of the third time I saw you, it should be in March of the forty-first year of Kangxi, I still remember the day when the royal driver returned to Luan, the people all over the city bowed their heads and knelt down to greet them, only you stupidly raised your head and stared at Luan Jia disrespectfully. Even with so many people, I still see you at a glance. At that time, I was thinking, this girl is so bold, isn't she afraid of being found out and punished?" Yinzhen put down the wine cup, looked at me, his eyes fell on my face, and a light smile softened his usual cold and hard face, and he felt that he was comfortable to see.

I laughed and said, "Actually, I saw you that day......" "The fourth goodbye is on the street outside the house, I don't know why you are here, so let someone check your details." I didn't expect you to be Geng Guanling's daughter. The fifth time I saw you in the house, the first time I talked to you, I found that you are not at all like a thirteen-year-old woman, not only smart, but also talented and insightful. Yinzhen supported his head with his hands, his drunkenness gradually came up, but the speed of his speech was much faster, which did not affect his thinking.

I didn't respond to his words, and drank the wine from the cup, wondering why he was suddenly counting all these drops today. I never thought he would remember every meeting so clearly.

Yin Zhen didn't care about my silence, his eyes became deep, and there were more deep meanings in it that I couldn't figure out. "That time you got drunk and said, 'You can live well without a man.'" I just thought it was a little girl's arrogant words, and I didn't pay much attention to it. Later, when your father begged me to let you enter the house as a slave and then point you to a good family, I agreed, but I felt distressed and pity when I thought that you would marry those rough people in the future. Until Fujin proposes to admit you into the mansion and give you a peace of this world. I also think that this may be the best course of action for you. Yinzhen stood up, walked in front of me, bent down and reached out to cover my cheek, and stared with a drunken smile.

There are some things that Xiao Shunzi told Yun Hui, but hearing from Yun Hui is completely different from the feeling brought by saying it directly from his mouth. He is not the kind of person who will directly say the words "I like you", but the meaning of his detailed counts is self-evident.

If you go back to the beginning, if you haven't met Yinyu, or if you don't have Yinyu's confession first. I may be moved by Yinzhen's words. But now he is still moved, and his heartache is still there, but he doesn't dare to formalize his feelings. Between me and him, there is not only a Yinyu, but also a Nian that he doesn't know now, but always exists between us.

"I wish to have one heart, and the white head will not be separated. Have you ever asked me if I also think this is the best way out?" I looked up at him, holding my body, a little limp from the strength of the wine. The effects of alcohol made me blurt out this rhetorical question. "You're really different from other women. Actually, I know you're not willing to accept such an arrangement. I knew in my heart that the three-year covenant you asked for was just an excuse for you to deliberately delay and dodge. But have you thought about it? Even if you marry into a common people's family, can you really get the single-minded person you want?" The smile on Yinzhen's face disappeared, and the solemnity and coldness in his tone were the ones I was familiar with. "Yes, that's just a luxury. However, I still want to keep this obsession. Ask yourself, do you really love me?" I put my hand on his chest, felt the warmth coming from his chest, and continued, "I never believed you would fall in love with me. Because we are the same kind of people, we don't trust anyone, we all live in our own world. It's just that you are different from me, you are a man who can pursue a better future, but I can only guard the present that I can grasp, but I dare not hope for the future. (To be continued.) )
