Kyoto is just around the corner.

When he arrived in Li County, Su Wang's tight strings also relaxed, because Li County is adjacent to Kyoto, and in the impression of many people, Li County already belongs to Kyoto.

There is a river that runs through the city, and on both sides of it is the one that has fed generations of people who have lived in peace and prosperity.

Staying in Li County for half a day was proposed by King Su, because everyone was exhausted all the way over. After King Su placed everyone in an inn, everyone rested in the house.

He Wanci saw that Xiaotong was already asleep, and tiptoed out of the room. I bought a paper umbrella at a stall and walked aimlessly.

Mother once told her story to He Wanci.

She was originally from Li County, and she got acquainted with He Yin, who came to Li County to do business in her early years, when they were both in their twenties, and there were not too many entanglements of interests in their minds, they just loved each other with their hearts, and they all thought that they would live like this for the rest of their lives. But he didn't want to, when He Yin returned to Hengzhou, he told his parents about his inner thoughts - to marry Chu Chu as his wife, but he was refused, on the grounds that the other party was from a scholarly family, and marrying such a girl would not be able to expand the economic strength of the He family, so he asked him to marry Yuan Sha, the lady of the Yuan family. He also struggled several times, but he couldn't resist his father. In the end, he chose to give up Chu Chu and marry Yuan Sha.

Chu Chu, who learned all this, was in pain, she could have chosen a marriage that was more suitable for her, but she firmly believed that He Yin was the lover of her life. So she took the initiative to tell He Yin that she was willing to be a concubine, as long as she could be with him. So three months later, Chu Chu married into the He family without any rituals and blessings. The Chu family felt that their daughter should not do this to them, and even forced them to die, but the daughter still insisted on seeing her, so she had to rely on her. Soon after she entered the door, her family sent someone to give her a lot of jewelry and a letter, saying that they were going to Jiangnan and might not come back in their lives.

At that time, Chu Chu cried very sadly, she felt that she was sorry for her parents, but she did not regret it, she loved He Yin. A year later, she gave birth to He Wanci. The birth of her daughter made her very happy, in order to keep her daughter from being hurt by the eldest lady Yuansha, she tolerated everywhere, but did not feel wronged.

But she found that since the birth of her daughter, He Yin has become more and more alienated from herself, and sometimes deliberately avoids her. At first, she thought she was doing something wrong and kept trying to make herself the best she could be in every way. But it still didn't work. Later, she was no longer like this, she poured all her love for her husband into her daughter, and life passed like this for many years.

......

At this time, this land is the place where her mother grew up, He Wanci is not worth it for her mother, if she was willing to give up her sweetheart at the right time, she would also be like other women, her life is worry-free, why would she end her life so desolately?

A wry smile hung on the corner of He Wanci's mouth, and tears fell from the corners of her eyes inadvertently. She walked for a long time in this way, when she suddenly found herself in front of the city gate, and she remembered that the bank of the river a little further forward was uninhabited, and that they had passed by it in the morning. He Wanci was riding on a horse at that time, and as far as the eye could see, there was boundless, clear water, and the grass and some unknown wildflowers growing in it, which was so quiet and peaceful. She wanted to come down and take a look, but all King Su was thinking about was hurrying, and she didn't have much to say, so she rode into the city. But I don't want to come over again now.

He Wanci held an umbrella and walked along the river, still immersed in the memories of her mother's tragic life.
