"Wow......"

A crisp cry resounded in the City Lord's Mansion. ~With~Dream~Small~Say~щ~Suimеng~lā Mama Fang, who couldn't hide her joy all over her body, just pushed open the door of the house and wanted to go to the main hall to inform the people who were still waiting, and saw the city lord who had been persuaded to avoid it before, and at some point stood outside the door again, looking at her with an anxious face.

"How's it going?"

Thinking of those secrets that have been circulated in Licheng in the past few years that are hardly secrets, Mama Fang looked at Liqing Xuan with a little sadness in her eyes, but in a blink of an eye thinking about the scene in the house behind her, Mama Fang's elderly face smiled into a flower, "Don't worry, the city lord, the mother and daughter are safe." ”

When Qing Xuan heard this, he suddenly relaxed, but suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly asked, "How is Madame?"

"Madame is in good spirits, and she is looking at the little lady!"

"Really?!" Li Qingxuan didn't know if it was because of joy or relief, his voice rose slightly, and he seemed a little impatient, "Then I'll go in and have a look!"

Looking at the back of the city lord who disappeared behind the screen, Mama Fang gently closed the door with a smile.

The courtyard was illuminated by the last rays of sunset, and Mama Fang wiped her moist eyes with her palms.

"Thank God. ”

Thank God, no longer let their wife suffer from life and death.

……

"Ning'er, you...... Are you okay?" As soon as he entered the room, Li Qingxuan's voice trembled, looking at the person lying on the bed, who was whispering to Chunyan with his head sideways.

"Brother Xuan, I'm fine. Hearing the voice, Yu Qingning, who turned his head to look over, smiled lightly, "Come and see our child, it's a girl!"

The joy in his voice could not be suppressed.

Li Qingxuan paused, his eyes were a little complicated, and when he saw his wife looking at him with expectant eyes, he clapped his hands and laughed, "Okay! Let's see if our little lady is like her father or her mother!"

Chunyan followed the words, and hurriedly hugged the child who was put aside and handed it over, "City Lord, look, how well-behaved the little lady looks!"

The fat little face, the eyes like black glass are wide open, the childish and long eyelashes move slightly, the small mouth is slightly open, the probe probes the brain, some curious to explore the novel environment, when suddenly saw a big bearded face in front of him, he was instantly frightened and cried loudly, until for a while, he didn't seem to feel threatened, he stopped crying again, and giggled.

"This ...... This ......" Looking at all this, Li Qingxuan's eyes suddenly moistened, and he couldn't say a word. Over the years, the children who pinned his infinite expectations and love came one by one, but they all left in less than a day. Joy again and again, despair again and again, this is probably the most unbearable pain as a father. Now, this kid ...... Her voice is so loud and in such a good state...... He, can you think that she is different?

"Ning'er...... She...... She ......" Li Qingxuan looked at her cautiously, her lips trembled, and if she wanted to ask, she couldn't ask anything.

The pain that the husband and wife have suppressed in their hearts for many years, Yu Qingning doesn't know, there are tears in her eyes, looking at the child in front of her, and then at her husband, she smiled and nodded firmly, "She will live forever, longer than us." ”

Li Qingxuan didn't speak, but the hand holding the child tightened two points and nodded fiercely.

"Madam, city lord, the slave and maid urged the cook to make the soup for the lady, and went out first. Chunyan saluted, and did not forget to remind in a whisper, "City Lord, Madame can probably talk for a while, and when the slave and maid come back, it is estimated that she will have to rest......"

"I know, you go. Li Qingxuan stared at Chunyan's sleeve for a long time, and then waved his hand.

The room was silent, only the sound of breathing could be heard.

Li Qingxuan gently placed the child beside her, looked at the child's sleeping appearance, and asked, "You, when did you find the restless place?"

Yu Qingning sighed. She knew that she wouldn't be able to hide it from him.

"Found it a year ago. She caressed the child's cheek lovingly, and whispered, "In the mountain behind the Mingfeng Temple in Liangcheng, there is such a spring, and it is surrounded by ...... Although the aura is thin, it is probably the most we have never seen before when we came to this land. ”

"Mingfeng Temple......" Li Qingxuan read slowly, thoughtfully, "Isn't that a place for Buddha cultivation?"

"Hmm. ”

"I've long heard that it's very peculiar there, and in a hundred years, there are actually two Buddhist cultivators who have reached the fourth order. Everyone in the world thinks that it is because of the diligent cultivation of immortals, but on this road of cultivating immortals, who is not hard, and who is not hard? Now that I think about it, I am afraid that it is because of this spring. ”

"You say that...... Now that I think about it, that is. At first, I just heard that incense was flourishing there, and the people loved to pray for blessings. Yu Qingning said softly, "Although we are different from these people, I was not in good health at that time, and I always thought about Nian Nian, so I took Chunyan with me." “

Yu Qingning's voice fell, and the hand stroking the child also stopped, and he lowered his head from Qingxuan and did not speak.

Nian Nian, it was their third child.

He lived until dusk the next day and left.

As if feeling the depression on Qingxuan's body, Yu Qingning smiled gently, folded the corners of the child's clothes under the hand on the child's cheek, and said softly, "Maybe you have to think like this, it is the elder brother every year, for the sake of his sister, that I led me, a mother, there to pray for blessings in my heart." Probably there is really a providence in the dark, leaving every year, I have made a decision in my heart not to have children, but I never expected to find that spring. Although the aura is not the same as the place where we once stayed, it gave me a glimmer of hope. ”

"So, in the past year, Chunyan's girl always said that she was going to see her sister-in-law from afar, but in fact, did she go to collect aura?"

"Well, Chunyan is a good boy, Brother Xuan, you know, ordinary people can't see the existence of aura at all, let alone collect it, in this land, if you want it to freeze, with us, it will take a lot of effort. It's hard for Chunyan to ...... for me."

"Ning'er, in the final analysis, it's because I didn't have the ability to let you suffer like this......" Thinking of the past, Li Qingxuan's voice was full of guilt.

"No, Brother Xuan, don't say that......" Yu Qingning held Li Qingxuan's hand, "Look, aren't our children good?"

"Yes...... "Liqing Xuan moved his gaze to the sleeping little face, with relief in his eyes, "She will be the happiest child away from home." ”

Yu Qingning nodded and didn't speak, just looked at the two closest relatives in the world beside her with tenderness.

……

The pear blossom courtyard dissolves the moon, and the catkins pond has a faint breeze.

That night, Li Qingxuan looked at the moonlight in the courtyard, remembered the scene when he and his wife first met, and named the child who was born away from home.

In the blink of an eye, five years have passed.

Unlike the cold five years ago, the City Lord's Mansion at this time was lively.

"Luo'er?Luo'er?" Yu Qingning hurriedly came out of the empty room, looked around, and coincidentally, from the side door of the courtyard, a thirteen or fourteen-year-old maid dressed as a maid came in, carefully carrying a bowl, and walked here.

"Green Shoots...... Hey, isn't this the medicinal soup I asked you to serve to Luo'er before, why are you here now?" Yu Qingning just wanted to ask, but Lu Ya also saw her, and hurriedly bent down and saluted, "Madam, this is what the girl asked me to bring over, saying that I would drink it when it was cold."

"What about her?" Yu Qingning didn't think much about it and asked. After all, Luo'er has been coughing recently, and she is asked to drink this medicinal soup every day, and she is estimated to be a little tired.

Who knows, hearing this, Lu Ya raised her head and wondered: "Didn't the girl already go to the hall to find Madame, is it because there are too many guests today, Madame and the girl haven't met?"

Yu Qingning frowned and thought carefully for a while, and suddenly said, "It's not good, this girl probably slipped out again!"

Streets out of town.

This is the second day of the Lunar New Year, and the whole city is still in a festive and lively scene. During the Chinese New Year, the addition of festive red silk, couplets, and paper-cuts will add a lot of fireworks to this small city that looks relatively cold on weekdays and shrouded in pear blossoms.

"Second Aunt Yang, I want a bun. ”

The sweet and glutinous voice is very soft.

Second Aunt Yang just set up a stall. Some time ago, my son, who was doing business in a distant country, came back with his daughter-in-law, and it was a very lively New Year. I didn't think about it, but I just put out the bun shop on the second day of junior high school today, and the guests came. She smiled and looked at the speaker, but for a moment, when she saw that the shop was empty, and when she looked down and had a small head, and looked at her without blinking, the smile instantly stopped on her face.

This kid ......

"Little city lord, why did you sneak out again. Aunt Yang hurriedly wrapped a bun in the oil paper next to her, and handed it to the little girl who was trying to look up at her with some helplessness.

"I'm going to the play. The little girl fumbled for a long time with the sachet embroidered by her own mother hanging around her waist, took out two copper plates, and put them on the table. Then he held the hot buns, took a big bite, and said vaguely, "Sure enough, the buns of the second aunt's family are the best." ”

"Hey, if the little city lord likes it, eat more?" Second Aunt Yang heard this, and her face turned into a flower.

"No, I still have to go to the restaurant to listen to the play, if the second aunt's buns eat too much, those snacks will not be able to eat. The little face who was trying to gnaw on the bun raised his head, blinked, looked at Aunt Yang, and said with a straight look.

"Second aunt, I'll go first!"

"Hey, hey, little city lord, slow down!" Looking at the little figure and turning into the restaurant in front of the big shopkeeper, Aunt Yang retracted her gaze with confidence and cleaned up the stall again.

Sure enough, it is worthy of being the child of their city lord and wife. She has lived for so many years, and she has followed their old Yang to the north and south to do the food business for so long, but she has never seen such a beautiful child. It's just that this little city lord is too skinny. They always like to sneak out of the house to play, and they have seen the gentle and polite city lord several times, coming out of the city lord's mansion in a hurry, carrying the little city lord, like carrying a chicken, and going back. Along the way, the little city lord was not only not afraid, but also waved at everyone with a smile, and called "Little Second Brother", "Aunt Guo" and "Uncle Zhang" very affectionately. But it's hard for them, they don't greet each other, they don't greet each other, they can only watch with their own eyes, the city lord's white jade-like face is a lot darker.

Right now, the little city lord probably ran out secretly again.

Alas.

Second Aunt Yang couldn't help but sigh again. After a while, he finally put things aside in his heart, hurriedly wiped his hand with some oil stains with a rag, put it aside, turned around, and shouted loudly to the tailor shop who had just opened not far away, "Huzi! I'll go to the city lord's mansion and bring a message to the steward there, and you can help me look at the shop!"

With that, he left in a hurry.

In other words, this side of the restaurant.

Even early in the morning, the halls are full.

I have to say, this is the power of the money shopkeeper.

The money shopkeeper not only knows how to cook well, but also traveled with the troupe when he was young, and he is very good at scripts and excerpts. Later, he bought a family business and opened a restaurant, but he did not forget his old book. hired some people, sang and told stories in the lobby of the restaurant every day, and wrote a lot of books on his own idle affairs. Among them, the plot is ups and downs, which attracts people's hearts, and makes the old and young in the city worry, especially the girls and ladies in various mansions, who come to the restaurant every day, just waiting for the latest plot.

"This ...... Who is to blame for this? Probably it was really providence. ”

In the private room set up around the hall, looking at the woman in red on the stage who hid her face and wiped her tears, the girl in a bright yellow jacket and a white light gauze skirt sighed lowly and said to the girl next to her.

"No, the boy went out on a long trip and met a favorite woman It was a joyous thing, but who knows, there is a baby girl who has been a baby since he was born in the place where he was born, and he is waiting for him happily. This woman is only twenty-eight years old, it is when the girl's mind is sensitive, and when she sees the scene in the play, she unconsciously compares herself to the woman in red, and she only feels sad in her heart.

"However, she should understand that she and the young man are just settled family affairs, how can they compare to the girl in the back, although she doesn't know anything, but she and the young man love each other?" Hearing the partiality of her friend's tone towards the woman in red, the girl who was completely brought into the play was very unconvinced, and pointed to the green-shirted girl who was smiling with the young man on the other side of the stage, "Think about it, if this girl knew about the existence of the red cloth, wouldn't her heart be equally painful?" At that time, if she was with the boy, how could she face her conscience? But if she was not together, then how could she ......?"

“…… Well, it's a difficult question. ”

Before the girl could speak, she heard a childish voice behind her.

The two hurriedly turned their heads to look, only to see a little girl carved in pink, touching her chin and frowning, with a pair of beautiful apricot eyes, looking at them, her face was full of seriousness. It's like what I just said, it's not a simple echo, but the result of really thinking about it.

"Flutter. The green-shirted girl was stunned, couldn't help laughing, and reached out to pinch the little girl's face, "Isn't this a little departure, why is this sneaking out again today?"
