At night, wisps of faint white smoke came out of the blue and white incense burner on the rosewood table, and the lingering fragrance of benzoin was leisurely hidden above the dark and dark roof beams. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Hua Liyue lies on the bed and tosses and turns, and it is difficult to sleep!

Is tomorrow really leaving? Maybe this is goodbye. Her clear black eyes were full of dazedness and panic, and the misery in her heart was indescribable.

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the little pair sleeping soundly on the couch on the side, and most of the pale cyan blanket covered by his body was dragging on the ground. Rao was so, she still slept very soundly, smashing her mouth from time to time, muttering a few vague dreams.

Hua Lianyue simply sat up from the bed, put on a robe at random, got out of bed and came to Xiaoshuang, and lightly covered her with a thin blanket.

Feeling sleepy, she simply sat down at the round table and poured herself a cup of tea. Holding the teacup, she didn't drink it, but silently looked at the candle flame jumping on the gilded crane candlestick on the table for a long time.

I can't help but think of the past when he used to read official documents all night, and he was often by his side, and when he was bored, he also looked at the candle in a daze.

Thinking that she was going to leave tomorrow and never see him again, Hua Lianyue's heart was extremely uncomfortable.

didn't say goodbye in person, and finally felt uneasy. Half an hour later, Hua Lianyue still walked out alone.

The bright moon hangs high, cool as water, leisurely and lazy, illuminating her way forward. As if the ghost had sent her, she was outside the study again. As expected, the candlelight was still flickering and the figures were swaying in the study.

It was obviously in front of her, but Hua Lianyue hesitated. Should I bother him? If not, many questions would be like poisonous snakes, gnawing at her heart day and night.

The vermilion lacquered wooden door in front of her was obviously open as soon as she pushed it, and her hand was on it, but she didn't exert any force. Just when she hesitated, Zhong Lingxiu's gentle voice came from the room: "Brother Huo, now that the flower girl has woken up, your wish has been fulfilled, our marriage should be put on the agenda, right?"

Marriage?

Zhong Lingxiu sighed softly, and her voice seemed to contain a bit of grievance. I heard her say quietly: "Brother Huo, don't blame my father, he is always proud, and he doesn't want my future husband to be just a little magistrate, so he will not agree to our dealings." Now that you have made great achievements, you are expected to be promoted in the future, and Daddy will never object to our family affairs again. ”

After half a ring, Huo Lianjue's deep voice sounded in the room: "Okay! In a few days, I will ask the matchmaker to go to the academy to find Dean Zhong to propose marriage!" Although it was a little vague, it was enough for Hua Lianyue to hear it clearly. She only felt that her heart was spitting and jumping, and all her strength seemed to be gone.

I heard Zhong Lingxiu continue to say softly: "Brother Huo, during the days when you were fighting with me, I also lost Miss Hua to accompany you instead of me. I see that she is also very affectionate to you, and when we get married, you will still accept her! In the future, I will treat her well and treat her as my own sister. ”

Huo Lianjue didn't speak, and after being silent for a while, he said slowly: "Lingxiu, thank you for your generosity." ”

Thank you for your generosity?

Hua Lianyue clenched her hands into fists, and suddenly recalled the scene of meeting Zhong Lingxiu for the first time in Wufu Building that night.

In the face of the murderous culling of the Heini tribe, Huo Lianjue desperately protected her behind him, willing to protect her even if he died. The natural affection and kindness that was revealed were completely different from the indifference he showed to Zhong Lingxiu later.

Could this be the truth? I just happened to run into the gap between him and Zhong Lingxiu's fighting spirit, and I shamelessly entangled him, so that I stole that good time?

Now that their misunderstanding has been resolved, even if Huo Lianjue still has some pity for himself, he still has to rely on Zhong Lingxiu's generosity to give himself a small concubine?

No wonder he ate Zhong Lingxiu's vinegar at that time, but no matter how he knocked on the side, Huo Lianjue refused to give a positive answer. Just vaguely said that it was an irrelevant person, and he actually believed it happily.

She suddenly hated and hated why she had to go on this trip, and his avoidance of meeting was already the best explanation. Obviously, you can still face the arrival of death calmly with good memories, even if these beautiful things are fictional, at least they are sweet.

The corners of Hua Lianyue's mouth showed a wry smile that was all about to be lost! Hehe, the stolen good times are going to be returned after all!

She raised her hand to cover her chest, and her heart disease was like a poisonous snake hidden in her body, rushing out and wrapping her tightly around her when she was in a trance. She breathed heavily, spasmed all over, and was so painful that she couldn't speak, but she didn't faint.

Tang Yao's medical skills are really good, and after drinking his medicine for three days in a row, he was able to keep himself from fainting at every turn. Hua Lianyue tugged at the corners of her mouth, revealing a sad and illusory wry smile.

God knows, at this moment, she wants to fall down like this, fall asleep for a long time, and don't face these cruel truths again.

The people in the room were still babbling something, although the voice was very low, but it was full of tenderness and sweetness. Hua Lianyue couldn't hear clearly, and she didn't want to listen, so she turned around and staggered away.

"Miss, where did you go in the middle of the night?"

"Miss, why are you crying?"

"Miss, is that surnamed Huo hurting your heart again? I'll go find him......"

Hua Liyue was stunned, she raised her hand and wiped it on her cheek casually, and sure enough, she wiped the water stain on her hand.

"Dashuang!" she hugged the angry Dashuang, pressed her cheek to her soft abdomen, and muttered, "I just thought I was going to leave tomorrow, and I was a little reluctant, so I walked around the garden......"

Dashuang naturally understood her thoughts, caressed her shoulders distressedly, and whispered: "Miss, if you don't want to leave, we can discuss with the valley master and strive to stay for one more day." ”

"No, let's leave early tomorrow morning, don't delay for a moment!" Hua Lianyue's categorical voice made Dashuang a little stunned, and she raised her eyes to look at Xiaoshuang opposite, who also looked confused.

Hua Lianyue closed her eyes and whispered: "Dashuang, after you marry the second brother and become my rightful second sister-in-law." If he dares to raise the idea of taking a concubine, I will definitely let my father teach him a good lesson. ”

Hua Lianyue's inexplicable miracle made Dashuang angry and funny, and he didn't continue to ask.

The second day, it was a clear and nice day!

The blue sky, the white clouds, the occasional flash of birds flying straight into the sky. Even the big trees on the side of the road have exceptionally thick and green foliage.

The carriage was ready, and Hua Lianyue, who had not slept all night, had already sat on it early, but Liu Yiliang, who originally thought that he would have to spend some words to persuade him, was stunned for a long time.

A few people in the yamen who are usually good friends with Hua Lianyue still wanted to have a good greeting with her, but Dashuang blocked out of the carriage on the grounds of physical discomfort.

Although there were some regrets, everyone still expressed their understanding and only said goodbye to her one by one across the carriage.

Hua Lianyue was indeed a little in good spirits at the moment, she was lying weakly, her head resting on Xiaoshuang's lap, and even her voice was vain. Everyone didn't want to continue to bother, so the surroundings gradually quieted down.

Hua Lianyue slowly closed her eyes, and suddenly heard Huo Lianjue's voice calling from outside the carriage: "Yue'er......" She was shocked and her eyes widened suddenly.

Xiaoshuang glanced down at her, and saw that she was just open but silent, and her heart couldn't help but move.

Without receiving a response, Huo Lianjue hesitated for a moment, and then continued to call: "Yue'er!" His voice was still so clear and beautiful, like the tinkling of spring water between mountain streams. Unable to hear the tiredness of a sleepless night, Hua Lianyue slightly hooked the corners of her mouth, revealing a sarcastic smile.

"Yue'er!" he called for the third time, already filled with anxiety and doubt.

Hua Lianyue still didn't say anything, but slowly closed her eyes.

Xiaoshuang raised his voice and said, "Miss has rested!"

"Master Huo, what are you doing here?" came the voice of Dashuang scolding from outside the carriage. Immediately afterwards, Liu Yiliang said in a deep voice: "Dashuang, let Master Huo go up." ”

"Valley Master, Miss didn't make a sound, it's time to sleep!" Dashuang obviously didn't want to back down.

"Dashuang, let Master Huo come in!" Hua Lianyue's weak voice finally came from the carriage.

Lord Huo?

Such an alienated title made Huo Lianjue's heart shake violently, and she deliberately avoided meeting each other for the past few days, did she still hate her after all?

Looking at the royal blue curtain that hung quietly in front of the carriage, Huo Lianjue actually felt a trace of fear in his heart. He was afraid to face her resentment, afraid to face her incomprehension, afraid to face her pain.

Suddenly, the door curtain moved, and he raised his eyes in fright, only to see Xiaoshuang walking out of the carriage with his head down. She stared straight at Huo Lianjue with a pair of apricot eyes, and said crisply, "Miss, please come in." ”

After a pause, she said again: "Please also ask Master Huo to read about the past feelings, don't stimulate her anymore." ”

Huo Lianjue was dumbfounded, and only reached out to lift the curtain and got in.

In the carriage, Hua Liyue had already sat up upright, and she was not dressed like a man in the past. She wore a light smoky plum-patterned placket skirt with a honey-colored satin cloak draped over her shoulders. A handful of black silk is simply woven into two long braids and placed on the chest.

It's just that she is still so weak and haggard, like fragile porcelain, which makes people dare not touch it hard.

Huo Lianjue looked at her intently, and the affection and pity in his eyes made the sunlight through the light curtains lose a little color.

Hua Lianyue also looked at him quietly, and after half a sound, she hooked the corners of her mouth and said slowly: "What else does Lord Huo have to advise?"

Huo Lianjue's body trembled slightly, and he moved his hand, wanting to caress her cold cheeks. Hua Lianyue turned her head to the side, dodged, and said coldly: "Lord Huo, please respect yourself." ”

Huo Lianjue's hand stopped in mid-air, his eyes flashed with depression and pain, and he murmured: "Yue'er, are you resentful of Brother Lian after all?" At this moment, the thoughts in his mind were rolling, but it was difficult to speak.

"Don't dare! Lord Huo said seriously. It's an irrelevant person, how can you say it with resentment!" Hua Lianyue was cold on her face, but her heart was extremely painful. So ambiguous, the sweet warmth stolen from other women, she would rather not.

She bit her lip and relented: "If Lord Huo has nothing else to do, please get off the car! It's a long way to Baihua Valley, and please don't delay our journey." ”

Huo Lianjue felt as if he had been hit hard, he slowly withdrew his hand, and the brilliance in his eyes was lost.

Hua Lianyue sneered in her heart, if she hadn't seen his indifference and ruthlessness that day, and heard the conversation between him and Zhong Lingxiu last night, I was afraid that she would really believe that he loved him wholeheartedly.

Perhaps, he still has love! But this love, she really dare not bear it again.

Thinking of this, she left the light of her eyes. I forced myself not to look at his sad appearance.

Huo Lianjue didn't move for a long time, and Liu Yiliang outside coughed lightly and urged: "Lord Huo, it's not early, let's leave." ”

Huo Lianjue raised his deep dark eyes, and reluctantly glanced at Hua Lianyue, who was silently looking out of the car window. With a slight sigh in his heart, he finally got out of the carriage.

Seeing him come down, Dashuang and Xiaoshuang hurriedly got into the carriage. The thick curtain of the car tightly blocked the people inside, blocking the inquiring eyes of everyone outside.

Huo Lianjue waved his hand, and immediately a servant brought a horse.

Liu Yiliang said in surprise: "What are you doing here?"

Huo Lianjue said lightly: "I don't know when we will be able to meet here, I'll give you a ride!" He didn't allow Liu Yiliang to refuse, turned over neatly on the horse, and waited quietly on the side of the carriage.

Liu Yiliang had no choice but to go with him.

So the carriage took Hua Lianyue's master and servant, and the carriage was surrounded by Liu Yiliang, Tang Yao, Xiao Fengnan, Yin Che, Huo Lianjue, Xie Yuanda and others on horseback, and the team of people and horses went out of the city in such a mighty way.

Out of the county seat, Liu Yiliang politely hugged his fist at everyone and said: "Sending you a thousand miles must be goodbye at the end, so send it here!

No one paid attention, no one turned back! Everyone still marched forward in silence.

Liu Yiliang was a little stunned, according to the plan, only Tang Yao was the only one who went with him, what was the matter with these people?

After thinking about it, he said to Huo Lianjue again: "My lord, stay and stay! There are still official affairs waiting for you to deal with in the yamen, so you can send them here." ”

Huo Lianjue didn't make a sound, and still walked forward on his own.

Liu Yiliang frowned, and then cast his eyes on Xiao Fengnan and Yin Che. Yin Che didn't wait for him to speak, and said with a smile: "Gu Master don't worry, I don't have any official business to deal with." Even if we send you back to the Valley of Hundred Flowers, it won't be a big deal!"

"This ......" Liu Yiliang had a headache, the thoughts of these young people were really not something that he, an old man, could guess.

Tang Yao still seemed to understand something in his heart, he smiled, and said to Liu Yiliang: "Valley master, forget it! We can still have more people to talk to, and it's more lively......"

Dashuang quietly lowered the curtain and said to Hua Lianyue, who had been closing her eyes and recuperating: "Miss, we have entered the Meiling Mountains." This mountain road is a bit rougher, but it is the closest way back to the Valley of Hundred Flowers. Why don't you lie down and feel uncomfortable when you get bumped!"

"It's okay!" Hua Lianyue slowly opened her eyes, shook her head and said, "I'm not that weak, not to mention that this path is not the first time to walk......

Suddenly, her mind moved, and she said, "Xiaoshuang, open the curtain of the car, and I'll look outside!"

Xiaoshuang was a little confused, so he obediently opened the curtain. Hua Liyue looked out of the small car window, and did not make a sound for a long time, as if she had fallen into some kind of contemplation.

Xiaoshuang didn't know why, and whispered to Dashuang: "Miss, what's wrong?"

Dashuang frowned slightly, and said, "I don't know either!" After a pause, she whispered again: "This place is close to Xiling, and Miss probably remembered the scene of being robbed that day." ”

It's a pity that they weren't with her at that time, and they didn't know what happened to Hua Liyue that day.

Hua Lianyue was in deep thought, and suddenly smelled a faint fishy smell. She was stunned for a moment, twitched the tip of her nose and sniffed carefully. was shocked to find that the smell was actually very familiar, so familiar that she shook violently, and the hairs on her body stood up because of the horror.
