At this moment, the twilight gradually fell, the cool breeze slightly passed through the osmanthus tree in front of the court, Xi Xi blew into the window, and Cui Zhiwan, who was waiting in the Yuan courtyard, sat cross-legged on the soft collapse under the window, slightly supported his forehead with his hands, leaned on the low table and fell asleep with his eyes closed, suddenly, the girl had a spasm, her body shook suddenly, and she was awakened inexplicably, accompanied by the violent ups and downs in her chest, the girl was panting in a hurry and fear, and the sweat on her forehead had soaked her hair, and she saw a few strands of hair stuck to her forehead, which made the girl's face look strange.

"What's the matter, girl? But you're having a nightmare?"

Seeing this, the green mantle who was guarding on the side came forward to help the girl and ask, but saw that the girl waved her hand in a daze, and her lips were closed, but she was speechless.

Because at this moment, her mind was also blank, and she seemed to have a chaotic and rapid dream, but no matter how she tried to remember at this moment, she couldn't recall it at all.

"Nothing. ”

The girl let out a loud noise, looked up, saw the sun gradually setting outside the window, noticed the heat gradually dissipating around her body, and couldn't help blurting out, "Mother hasn't come back yet?"

"Not yet. ”

The green mane opened her lips warmly, and because she was worried that the girl would think too much, she couldn't help but add: "Madame originally left a little late, and I'm afraid that she is on the way back at the moment, and it must not be long." ”

Hearing this, the girl nodded reluctantly, suddenly, only felt that the throat was dry and itchy, and raised her hand to go to the tea cup on the case, who knew that she could only hear the sound of "clang-" , a warm wetness suddenly poured on the back of her hand, the girl's hand trembled slightly, and when she turned her head, she found that she had accidentally knocked over the teacup, only to see the teacup lying alone on the table, and the tea inside spread little by little along the edge of the table, falling slowly, only to hear "dripping-" Little by little, the sound fell on the smooth marble floor beneath his feet, until it spread to the carpet beneath his feet, soaking and staining it into a blood-red mark.

When the green mustache on the side saw it, he snorted, hurriedly stepped forward to put the tea cup away, and when he hurriedly touched the back of the girl's hand, he saw that the tea was not hot, so he was slightly relieved, and carefully and considerately wiped the girl's hands with a silk handkerchief, and then comforted softly: "The slave maid will call someone to clean it." ”

Watching the green beard walk out quickly, the girl sat there in a bit of a daze, but her heart was more and more covered with an inexplicable cloud, until the girls cleaned the house, and then heard a little girl walk in, very respectfully said: "Girl, it's going to be dinner." ”

Cui Zhiwan looked up at the window when she heard this, and saw that the dim sunset had shrouded the courtyard with a layer of gentle and quiet light.

"Don't worry, just wait, put the food hot in the kitchenette and use it together when my mother comes back." ”

Hearing the girl's gentle command, the little girl immediately nodded yes, and then slowly retreated.

Seeing this, the green mantle on the side couldn't help but come forward and asked softly, "Does the girl feel hungry?" If she is hungry, the slave will ask someone to bring some snacks. ”

"No, I'm not hungry. ”

Cui Zhiwan shook his head lightly, and then reached out to explore the teacup, thinking about Fang Cai's gaffe, his hands were much more cautious, and when the warm tea ran down his throat, he felt a lot calmer.

"I went and asked someone to wait at the door, and when I saw my mother returning, she came to report to me quickly. ”

The girl's light and serious words suddenly sounded in her ears, and the green mustache immediately understood when she heard the words, and bowed her head slightly, and then went out to order someone to go, Cui Zhiwan glanced at the slightly swaying Xiangfei bamboo curtain, paused slightly, after all, she didn't think much about it, and took the embroidered bandage into her arms when she turned her hand.

The faint sunset fell on the girl's body through the window, light and soft, and suddenly, the girl was plated with a layer of gentle light, which looked more tranquil and beautiful.

……

At this time, because there were still some things to be dealt with in the military department, Shangshu Cui Wencheng and several officials from the same department were talking in the room, seeing that the sunset was already all over the sky, everyone got up and went home.

The officials in court clothes whispered while walking towards the entrance of the military department, just when many people got on their horses and official sedan chairs, but heard a rush like the sound of war drums of the horse's hooves gradually approaching, before they heard the sound and looked over, a small man dressed as a fast horse, almost desperately rushed towards the door of the palace, just when everyone was surprised, only to hear the reins were suddenly tightened, the horse raised its front hooves and neighed loudly, the little guy climbed off the horse with a rolling belt, as if he did not see the people around him, obviously his face was so tired that his face was pale, but he also got up and pulled his legs through the crowd, and ran in the opposite direction towards the palace。

The person guarding the door almost instinctively stopped the little guy, but the little guy was in a hurry to cry, and immediately took out a token from his arms and said loudly: "I am from Shangshu Cui Mansion, and I have something important to report to Lord Shangshu." ”

As soon as the gatekeeper saw the token, he immediately let go, and before they could respond, the figure in front of him had already rushed in.

When the figure of the little guy disappeared in front of him, the surroundings seemed to suddenly return to their calm, except for the horse that had been thrown outside the palace and drooped its head tiredly, pacing back and forth restlessly, and snorting slightly.

At this moment, Cui Wencheng and Xie Yun walked out of the duty room together, because of their seniority, Xie Yun took a few steps slightly, and under the sunset, the shadows of the two were stretched a little longer, but they became more and more intimate.

"You're going to leave for Jiangnan the day after tomorrow, are you all ready to salute?"

Hearing Cui Wencheng's cordial inquiry, Xie Yun bowed slightly, and said in a gentle and respectful voice: "Lord Hui Shangshu, I have already packed up, and I will go down by boat early the next morning." ”

"Hmm. ”

Cui Wencheng responded when he heard this, and then remembered something, and when he looked at his head, there was a rare kind smile in his eyes.

"In the coming year, Ah Wan will enter Xie's house, and now that the family matter has been decided, this mouth should also be changed, there are no outsiders at the moment, and then call Lord Shangshu, so he will be unfamiliar. ”

Hearing Cui Wencheng say this, Xie Yun couldn't help but be slightly stunned, when he saw the famous counterinsurgency general back then, but now he was standing quietly in front of him, surrounded by a kind breath, smiling, the corners of his eyes were even more close, as if he was just an ordinary father, Xie Yun's heart moved slightly, and a calm and gentle smile couldn't help but float in his eyes, and the next moment when the corners of his lips were hooked, he naturally blurted out: "What my father-in-law said, Xie Yun remembered." ”

After saying a word, it was like a spring breeze, but the two of them in front of them were relieved, and invisibly, the distance seemed to be closer.
