Zheng Yuan walked down the stone steps towards him and took Ah Lang. "You go cook the food, the food you cook is delicious, I won't, I'm afraid I will burn your home......"

"Okay, you and Aaron go to the house, the sun will be high in a moment," he said, looking up at the sky, "it may rain again tomorrow......

Zheng Yuan was pacing in the yard with Ah Lang in her arms, the newly planted white magnolia flowers outside the bamboo fence bloomed, the flower trees were very short, and the breeze sent a faint fragrance, Zheng Yuan took out a hand to pinch an elegant magnolia and pinned it to Ah Lang's ear, Ah Lang smiled.

He fried a few side dishes and brought them to the table, Ah Lang was already asleep and was carried to bed by Zheng Yuan, and it was much more convenient to free up his hand to hold the child, Zheng Yuan sat at the table, sniffed deeply, and praised: "Smell it and know that it is delicious, with all the color, flavor and taste." ”

"Look at your sycophant," he squeezed his eyes at her and served her vegetables, "This tofu is fresh, and the taste of it shouldn't be too bad, try it." ”

She laughed: "The tofu is delicious." ”

"Then you can eat more tofu." He clamped her again, but found that she had been clipping the spring leeks in front of him, "Do you like to eat spring leeks?" ”

Zheng Yuan shook her head and spoke while eating: "I don't like to eat, but you make it delicious......

"It's all ...... on the teeth," he quipped, "and it looks like an old lady, it's ugly." ”

Zheng Yuan raised her eyebrows, glanced at him, continued to eat, and said: "Your fried spring leeks are so delicious, it's a pity not to make dumplings as dumpling filling." ”

He held the chopsticks and raised his head: "Do you want to eat dumplings?" ”

Zheng Yuan buried her head and said casually: "I haven't eaten it for a long time, and I kind of miss the taste of dumplings." ”

"Spring leeks are not a good dish," he said, "these spring leeks were not bought this morning, they were grown by themselves, didn't it rain yesterday?" After a night of rain, it grows green, and if you don't cut it, it will be old in a few days, so I cut it. ”

"Night rain cuts spring leeks!" The two of them suddenly said in unison, both slightly depressed, looked at each other and smiled.

He also said: "The night rain cuts spring leeks, and the yellow sorghum is in the new cooking." ”

She said: "If you don't see each other in life, you move like participating in business ......."

As she spoke, her expression gradually faded, and she stopped chewing in her mouth. He put down his chopsticks and asked her, "Don't you want to see him?" What exactly are you going to do? Do you want to avoid him forever and not see him? Ever thought he'd be looking for you in a hurry? ”

She only shook her head and did not speak. The eyes are red.

"I went to the market today and heard people talking about him and about you."

"What are you talking about?"

"Originally, everyone thought that he was going to set up a female woman who was born and died with him as the queen, but yesterday morning, when the left minister proposed to set up the female woman as the queen, and the ministers seconded it, he disagreed, and even said that he would not let her enter his harem...... The ministers did not agree, and in the end he brushed his sleeves and left, leaving a hall of courtiers...... When it spread to the people, the people talked about it, and it turned out that the woman was named Mrs. Anguo because she didn't want to be the queen...... Everyone started to speculate again, he has recently gone crazy and vigorously looking for his daughter's biological mother, and since he ascended the throne, no one in the harem has been delayed, but he only posted the emperor list to find that one woman...... Everyone said that he was an infatuated emperor, and he was fascinated by you, so they began to talk about you. ”

"What are you talking about me?"

"A lot, you are now a topic that the people of Shengdu are talking about after dinner, your life experience has been dug up, and all kinds of rumors about you are getting more and more fierce, rumors that your father is an ungrateful and heinous traitor, and the change of Chonghua has killed Zhongliang and turned into a powerful and opposition-leaning minister; said that you were as far-sighted as your father, and you saw at a glance that the lowly gentleman in the house had an imperial appearance, so you did not dislike his superficial poverty and sourness, and tried every means to get close to him. said that your sister went from the crown princess to the empress Li who everyone spited on, but in fact she endured humiliation for the sake of family feuds, and you were selfish and unfilial, and you always kept the dog and fly camp for yourself. said that after the change of Jialan, you were trapped in the palace as a hostage, and then you made compromises, fornicated with others, and secretly knotted the pearl fetus. said that he was faint, and everyone asked to set up a female woman who was born and died with him as the queen, but he tried his best to override the public opinion, and also named the daughter of unclear blood as Princess Heyi and Anyi; Also said...... He also said that an ambitious person like you will inevitably return to the palace, and soon he will be in the middle palace, and it is impossible to become a generation of virtuous queens in the world, because you will only charm the king. also made up a song, and the children's family sang it secretly, 'The daughter of the Zheng family, the princess of Wei, gave and received it privately, and lived secretly. Will be the king of Xiang, the song of the general payment, as a hostage, chaotic palace. Lustful gentleman, glamorous, beaded fetal knot, turban green. The heart swallows the elephant, confuses the king's heart, the middle palace hangs, and the state affairs are short. That's pretty much it, I'll take it all down for you. ”

Zheng Yuan chewed slowly, listening to his words, and her mind was uneasy in the end.

He said: "He will come to you soon, and when I come back today, I will find that there are many officers and soldiers in Xuwu Mountain...... Have you ever wondered what you'll do when he comes to you? I think he must already know who Aaron is, have you figured out how to tell him? Are you going to go back with him after that? ”

That bite of food was chewed by Zheng Yuan for a long time, and Zheng Yuan said: "I thought about it, just like you said, he must already know who Ah Lang is, and I can't hide from him for the rest of my life, not to mention, I have two daughters with him, and the daughters must have cried if they haven't seen me for so long." Since he knows that I am here, I might as well go back sooner, so as not to trouble you, and as for Aaron, I will try my best to beg him to let him live, and if he does not agree, I will ...... I have no choice but to threaten death, and I want to know, what will he choose? Even if he doesn't choose me in the end, it doesn't matter if I die with Aaron......"

"Do you believe me?"

Zheng Yuan looked up at him.

"If you believe me, give Alang to me, if you can't let him go, go back, and I will take good care of Alang for you."

"No," Zheng Yuan decisively vetoed, "He knows who Ah Lang is, will he let him go?" Will he let you who raised him go? ”

"I've got my place to go, and I won't let him find me."

"I can't bother you, Jiang Silian, only Ah Lang is the safest by my side, more or less, he will take care of some of my love ...... with him"

He nodded, seeing that her good mood was completely ruined, he changed the topic and said, "You just talked about dumplings, in fact, the dumplings with shepherd's cabbage filling I made are more delicious, do you want to eat them?" Let's go find the shepherd's cabbage together in the evening, shall we? ”

"I don't want to ......," she said in a low mood.

"You don't want to help me? Shepherd's cabbage has to be found for a long time, if you don't help me, then I'll find it alone......

"Alright then......"

After the meal, Aaron was still sleeping sweetly. He came with two bamboo baskets to tell her to get ready to go out, she was worried that Alang would cry when he woke up and no one was around, he came over to see Alang sleeping and reached out and touched him: "Don't worry, this child won't wake up until dark." ”

"You? You weren't going to do anything to him just now, were you? ”

He only smiled and shrugged: "Don't worry, it's okay, I'm here." With that, he took her arm and put a bamboo basket on her back, put a knife in the bamboo basket, and the two went out together.

"What does shepherd's cabbage look like?"

He had already squatted down and grabbed one: "No, show it to you." ”

Zheng Yuan took it and looked at it, threw it into the bamboo basket, followed him and looked for it with him, it turned out that the shepherd's cabbage was born next to the ground, shaped like a rosette, and some of them bloomed small white flowers at this time. Zheng Yuan happily shook a shepherd's cabbage with white flowers at him: "I remembered a word about it." ”

"The peaches and plums in the city are sorrowful, and the spring is in the brook and the shepherd's cabbage is ......," he said, pointing to the flowering shepherd's cabbage in her hand, "this shepherd's cabbage is satisfied, and its spring is coming." ”

She smiled.

It was so beautiful when he smiled, he stared at it for a long time, looked away, and the smile was still playing back in front of his eyes over and over again.

"Carrying a bamboo basket on her back and digging wild vegetables with a knife, the current Zheng Yuan is a small village woman."

"Say me! You're different! She stuck out her tongue at him childishly behind her back, and he immediately retorted, "I was originally a mountain man. ”

The two of them were talking and laughing and laughing, not noticing the dark clouds piling up in the sky, and before they knew it, the sky darkened, and with a dull thunder on the dome, the raindrops of beans fell with a loud noise.

"Oops, it's raining, we don't have umbrellas." Zheng Yuan went to see him, he was undressing, after taking off his coat, he picked it up and strode towards her, a lightning bolt illuminated his whole person brightly, and raindrops rolled over the bridge of his upright nose, he reached out and pulled her up, and shook the clothes in his hand, "You catch that corner, let's run back together." ”

The rain came so hard that it washed up all the soft mud on the surface, and the two of them pulled their clothes over their heads and ran all the way, and the soles of their shoes soon formed a thick layer of mud. The endless wilderness, the earth, the rain, the shepherd's cabbage, the grass, all exude the fragrance of spring.

In this way, she ran back to the secluded fence, standing in the bamboo forest panting, the bamboo forest in the wind and rain made a rustling sound, and the washed leaves were green and eye-catching, although it was raining, but her heart was like this rain came heartily.

"Did you get wet?" He shook off his clothes, came over to see her, pulled her body around, and finally found her looking at him fixedly. "Your clothes are wet." She said stunned.

His clothes looked like they had been fished out of the water, and hers wasn't much wet.

After looking at each other, he said: "Oh, if you get wet, you get wet, and if you dry in the sun, it's nothing, go back quickly, Alang may be waking up at this time." ”

As soon as he stepped into the house, Ah Lang suddenly woke up and cried, and Zheng Yuan hurriedly went into the house to pick him up and coax him.

He took the bamboo basket with the shepherd's cabbage to prepare to clean the shepherd's cabbage to make dumpling filling, and suddenly remembered that he had to make dumpling skins, look at the sky, it is estimated that it will be very late to make it today, and he will do it tomorrow, but tomorrow's shepherd's cabbage may not be fresh, he found a clay pot for raising flowers, first took water to raise vegetables, and got up tomorrow morning to make dumpling skins.

After cooking dinner, I went to call Zheng Yuan to eat, and when I walked into the house, I found that she coaxed Ah Lang to fall asleep herself, and when she saw that she was sleeping soundly, she couldn't bear to call her up again, covered her with a quilt, couldn't help but kiss her forehead, and quietly withdrew.

Outside the house, the rain was raging, and there was a loud noise in the distance, and he was warming the vegetables, and went out to stand under the porch to look, and in the distance a plane tree had fallen......

When Zheng Yuan woke up, he found that it was already dark outside the window, and at night, before he nursed Ah Lang, he didn't seem to be hungry, and slept soundly in her arms. There seemed to be a light outside the window, she got up, went out of the screen and looked, he hadn't slept yet, the light outside was him? At this moment she heard the sound of the pouring rain and the gentle sound of cutting wood. When he went out, he was sitting under the porch and cutting wood, and the rain under the porch was very heavy and rapid, rushing to his feet. His expression was very focused, occasionally raising his sleeve to wipe the sweat from his face.

Zheng Yuan walked behind him gently: "It's so late, why are you still cutting wood outside?" ”

He raised his head when he heard this, and said with a light smile: "One of the strings of my guqin is broken, and it just so happens that there is a sycamore tree outside the yard that has fallen, and the paulownia wood is good, so I want to make a guqin, and you are bored with Ah Lang, you can play the guqin when you have nothing to do." ”

Zheng Yuan stared at him and said, "Fool, wouldn't it be nice to fix the strings if they are broken?" Even if you want to do the piano, you have to go inside the house or do it during the day, isn't it cold when it's raining so hard outside? Look you're drenched. ”

"It's okay, you can still listen to the rain here, you listen, the rain is good," he said, looking her in the eye, "do it tonight, and you can play it tomorrow." He retracted his gaze and whispered, "Do it a day later, maybe you won't be able to play it......" I don't know if she heard it, it seems that she didn't.

Her heart was hot, and she thought: this fool must be afraid of arguing with her and Alang.

"Fool!" She was a little angry and said, "Why do you have to do it again?" If the strings are broken, you just need to change one, you are such a fool! I've never seen anyone as stupid as you! ”

"I don't think that when you change a string, the string doesn't play the same tone, and it doesn't blend in with the sound that comes out of other strings. So I decided to just make a new guqin and make it play a new, harmonious tone overall. You say, this is not like a human relationship, and it is not like the original when it is repaired, it is better to forget to give up and start over......" He looked up at her with fiery eyes.

Her heart shook, her face was hot, and she was so busy that she cast her eyes on the bamboo fence in the distance, the dense rain curtain washed the orchid, and the faint and dark fragrance floated all over the courtyard. "Nonsense, how can it be played differently when you change the strings?" I don't know if it's the haze of the rain and fog or the haze in my eyes, and gradually everything can't be seen really.

Suddenly, his hands encircled her from behind, and his heartbeat pressed against her back: "If you want, I'll take you and Aaron away, let's go together, to a place where he will never find us......" (.)
