Rao is wind and food camping, fast horses, when he arrived in the capital, it was already winter, and the city was full of murderous atmosphere.

Shen Huan was covered in dust, although he was anxious, he still had the patience to find a bigger inn to live in first. After taking a shower and changing into clean clothes, I took a self-portrait in the mirror, but I was a little worried that I had tanned my skin by the sun in the northwest for half a year. Looking left and right, fortunately, I didn't see any changes, my heart was a little steady, and I poured some thin powder, evened out some rouge, and then went out with a hat.

After a year, the big locust tree at the mouth of the alley seems to have become thicker, and the branches stretch out to the sky with teeth and claws, adding to the gloom. But she is in a good mood, and she can feel surprises when she sees anything. In fact, it is inevitable that there is some homesickness, she comforted herself, and he must be happy when the old man is reunited. She had never forgotten him for a day, and on the other hand, he would not have thrown her out of the clouds.

Just after noon, the sky is clear, and the winter sun shines on the body, making people feel warm. However, the copper lock on the door of Gu's house made her heart cold.

Is he not at home, or has he already moved out of here to find a new home?

I wanted to go over the wall and take a look, but there were still people coming and going in the alley from time to time, and the owner was not at home, so it was still disrespectful to break in. What made her heart beat even more was that if she saw Fang Qiaozhen's things in the house, she didn't know if she would be able to face him calmly next.

Imagine, speculate and witness with your own eyes are not the same after all!

Maybe the couple went out together, where will they go in this big winter? She turned around and walked out of the alley and onto the street. With nowhere to go, and I don't want to go back to the inn, I simply wander aimlessly.

Full of hope, he turned out to be a little discouraged. Before I knew it, I walked out several streets. When I raised my eyes, I saw two women pulling a child, hovering in front of the candy seller's stall, one of the women's side face was very familiar, and when she looked at it again, she cried out, "Hanxiang!" ”

lifted the corner of the hat, and the fragrance was pleasantly surprised, "Miss Huan...... Are you back? ”

After a long absence, the two found a teahouse room and sat down and talked to each other. Shen Huan looked at the fragrant woman's bun and congratulated with a smile, "I became a parent, I became someone's daughter-in-law, and I really benefited, that kid was your doll just now, wasn't it?" ”

"Where, that's my sister-in-law's child, I've only been married for more than half a year, but it's not so fast." Hanxiang replied shyly, poured tea, and asked, "The girl came back from her aunt's house?" Is this a passing by, or is it a long-term stay? I haven't seen a girl for a few days, and when I saw it, I was startled, and I thought it was a dream, but you are good at it, and you look like a big girl. ”

Shen Huandu said this, and understood that Gu Cheng was saying that she was picked up by relatives, so he smiled and said, "I came to Beijing to do some business, and I won't leave for a while, but I didn't expect to meet you on the street when I came back today, but it was a coincidence." ”

"You just came back today? Yo, that's a coincidence. Hanxiang took a sip of tea, lowered his head for a long time, and asked as if he was careless, "You went to the third master's mansion, have you seen it?" ”

Shen Huan shook his head and said no, "I don't know, if he still lives in the original place, rashly, afraid that he won't find anyone if he breaks in." ”

"Why aren't you here, the third master hasn't moved!" Hanxiang hurriedly said, "He has been living there, although there have been so many things in this year, but I don't see that the third master has any plans to move the nest." During the August Festival in the first year, I also took my mouth to send some moon cakes to the third master. The third master is still so polite, but he gave me a lot of rewards, which made me embarrassed...... In fact, I thought that there was no one in the third master's family, and he was too lonely during the New Year's holidays, so he went to make him popular. ”

Shen Huan's heart was jumping, he pursed his lips and smiled, and pretended to be indifferent, "You are really a caring person, but he has also finished the system this year, and if you want to say that the marriage should also be decided, even if he is not in a hurry, the Fang family will always be in a hurry." ”

It's okay not to mention the word Fang family, but when she mentioned it, Hanxiang was full of disdain, snorted, and said busily, "What's the matter with that shameless family?" The third master is a bachelor for a lifetime, and he will not be close to their family! It's just that they stabbed a sword in vain, and the third master was generous and didn't care about that bastard, if I was left alone, I would have to go to Shun Tianfu to sue their family! ”

"What did you say, stabbed a sword?" Shen Huanxin raised his throat and asked in horror.

Hanxiang sighed, and talked indignantly about what happened earlier, and only after describing it did he say again, "Do you say that the Fang family is so shameless, just to marry the sister into a high-ranking family, so to learn from the third master, and the wife said that their family was good that day, it was really a slap in the mouth." At that time, it spread on the street, and some people said that the third master was not righteous, and he regretted it after making promises, and said that two men fought for a woman, and there was a bloody case, and there were many things to say, and there were many unpleasant words. By the time it reached our house, many days had passed. My parents rushed to let me take a look, thinking that the third master was afraid that it would be inconvenient for him to recuperate by himself. As soon as I went, I was bluffed, and the room was full of blood. The third master loves a clean person so much, and the scarf thrown under the bed is a bloody towel, and the person is very empty! Fortunately, the injury was not serious, so I asked the doctor to prescribe a prescription, changed the dressing every day, and took half a month to get better. I took care of it for more than ten days, and the third master also gave me another twenty taels of silver, you say, where to find such a kind person, my parents sold me to the Gu family that day, which can be regarded as an eye-opener, and the ancestors have accumulated virtue. ”

She chattered, Shen Huan was furious, she couldn't imagine that so many things had happened after she left, and listening to this, Gu Cheng had no intention of marrying Fang Qiaozhen again!

So what is he doing now? How are you doing? In the end, she softened down, no longer knocking on the side, but asked about Gu Cheng's current situation.

Hanxiang finally laughed and nodded, "Okay, the third master is raising his eyebrows at this time, don't say anything about the Fang family's Yuan family, even the people from the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies now have to give the third master face, don't say anything else," she stretched out her hand and pointed to a pharmacy shop on the street outside, "The business of the third master's pharmacy has become bigger, and it has collected several shops, and it is not an exaggeration to say that silver is like flowing water, saying that there is also an offering in the palace, what is the matter, I don't really understand, you see the third master when you go back, ask yourself." ”

After taking a sip of tea, he continued, "After all, good people have good rewards." Speaking of the time when I was injured, I heard that they were in trouble because I went to Rui'an Hall to get medicine, and the business in the shop plummeted, and the shopkeeper was desperate. The third master was kind, took down the storefront, and revived the business, which is why today's grand occasion is there. Naturally, it is also the third master's brain, our old mother said earlier that the third master is the most transparent and intelligent person, but he is unwilling to compete with others, but this let her say it again. ”

He had a good life, and he made a fortune in a muffled voice, which was beyond her expectations. It's just that I can't imagine what it is like for him to be such a generous and gentle person when he talks about business. She thought and couldn't help but chuckle softly.

But in his bones, he should still like to teach children to read and live a quiet and quiet life. She had a gut feeling that he had suddenly embarked on this path, and that he must have had some special thoughts.

She couldn't guess for a while, she only felt that after listening to Hanxiang's words, she hated and liked it in her heart, because she pretended to be something, and hurriedly inquired a few words before saying goodbye to Hanxiang. Slipping all the way to the entrance of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, she stood diagonally opposite the corner of the street and watched. Originally, she didn't have much impression of Fang Qiaozhen's brother Fang Jichen, but she couldn't stand it, and now she is very powerful by her in-laws, and someone rushed to call him Uncle Fang when she left the yamen.

I'm telling her to catch her! A sneer appeared on the corner of Shen Huan's mouth, he picked up a small pebble, watched Fang Jichen get on the horse, aimed at the horse's hind legs and threw it with all his might. The horse was in pain, its front hooves raised high, and with a neighing sound, it pouted Fang Jichen alive. The others were defenseless, fell to the ground at once, rolled a few times before avoiding the horse's hooves, and crooked on the ground and cried out in pain.

This fall was not light, he couldn't stand up for a long time, and the people around him were busy, and he didn't bother to check how good the horse was.

Shen Huan looked at it coldly, and secretly said in his heart, this idea is not enough, sooner or later he will have to suffer more, anyway, the future will be long, and from time to time to find some trouble for the Fang family, she is the best at this kind of thing.

Hidden in the crowd, listening to Fang Jichen's screams gradually disappear, he was in a good mood. The shadow of the sun moved westward, and the sun was about to set, she was no longer entangled in her heart, and returned to the door of Gu's house generously. Gu Cheng hadn't gone home yet, she didn't hesitate, and took advantage of the fact that there was no one around, jumped on the wall and jumped into the courtyard.

It's still the same as it used to be, clean and neat. She pushed open the door of the West House, and her eyes lit up, and several pots of fresh bamboo and honeysuckle were placed under the window. Touching the tables and chairs, there was no dust at all, knowing that he would come to wipe them every day. The books on the shelves were more detailed than they had been before she left, and he had always valued his knowledge more than she did, and he was willing to put his mind to it...... In the middle of the shelf lay a scroll that had never been seen before. She picked it up, unfolded it and looked at it, the moment she opened it, the whole person was stunned, and it took a while to cover her mouth, with laughter and tears in her eyes.

This fool still found this painting and redeemed it! Originally, I didn't like this picture very much, but now that I think about it, this painting can be regarded as a proof of their origin, thanks to it, he knew her whereabouts, rushed over, and took her away from the place where people eat people and don't spit out bones.

She touched inch by inch, as if she was caressing the old friend she hadn't seen for a long time, until she heard a knock on the door, her heart suddenly lifted, her hands trembled violently, and a real and honest feeling of homesickness finally came to mind at this time.

Fortunately, the light footsteps went to the east room first, and she calmed down, and her narrow thoughts arose again. jumped out of the window, climbed onto the roof, and lay on top silently, looking at the people in the yard with a smile.

He's grown a little taller, too? She pursed her lips and smiled, naturally it was impossible, where could she turn around again at this age, probably because of her weight loss. But it's not thin, but it's more capable and vigorous than before. He boiled water, bathed and changed clothes, wore a moon-white shirt, and simply made some porridge and side dishes for dinner.

The lamp under the porch, the moonlight and the light shone on his face, his temples were like a knife, his eyebrows were clear, his face was warm and elegant, and his side face was like a gui, and there was a fortitude that was not easy to detect—this was her pure jun, and she saw him again, exactly as before, and in her dreams.

At night, the lights in the house went out. Her ears were pressed to the door, and she couldn't hear anything inside. He was probably not asleep yet, so much better, she didn't want to frighten him.

She pushed the door open without making a sound, her steps were as light as a cat, her body was so well controlled, she didn't even make a noise of rubbing against the fabric of her clothes, only one heart was like a drum, and it was about to jump out of her chest.

She couldn't control it, in the dark room, listening to her heartbeat, in a dilemma.

There was a slight thump on the bed, followed by a sudden slump of slumber and a sudden roll over and out of bed. She could see his outline, as clear as daylight, but his eyesight was not so good that he could see her so clearly in the darkroom.

It was like two shadows facing each other, she was standing, and he was sitting on the edge of the bed. After a long time, she heard his breath slightly chaotic, tried her best to keep herself from trembling, and asked, "Is that you?" ”

Tears welled up in her eyes, and she knew it was from joy, from the fact that he recognized her at a glance!

In the dark, she nodded and replied with a smile, "Chunjun, it's me, I'm back." ”
