Chapter 70: The South Wind Comes

Qing'e shook her head and shattered the sad memories: "Sister, back then, you persuaded me to give up my hatred, but I sneered at you and spoke ill of each other, Qing'e at that time had no long-term vision, and I just hated and hated in my heart!" I know that the ten Qing'e together are not the emperor's opponents, but I am unwilling to bow to him, just because my mother is folded in the hands of the emperor. ”

Mei'er exclaimed, no wonder Qing'e looked at the emperor's eyes so complicated, many times she wanted to speak and stopped, trembling, it turned out that there was such a festival back then.

She felt compassion, Qing'e and her mother have been dependent on each other for many years, and their emotions are extremely deep, even if this revenge for killing her mother is no matter how open-minded people are, I am afraid it will be difficult to let go.

Qing'e looked at Mei'er, who was shocked, and said in a dumb voice: "When you and I met here for the first time that year, I asked you, what would happen to you if someone killed your mother? ”

Mei'er's whole body was shocked, my mother had turned into smoke and dust shortly after I was born, she was not hunted down by the Heavenly Palace, but indirectly died at the hands of her husband and Qing'e's mother

If it weren't for the high accumulated hatred, our two families wouldn't have to guard against it all day long, calculate, and finally count their relatives and lovers into it.

She swallowed, how did I answer that year?

Qing'e didn't ask any more, just picked up the tea bowl and drank the water slowly.

Mei'er could only say with difficulty: "That is all in the past, and it can't be done again!" Qing'e, we have had too many regrets in the past, now that you and I are alive, you also have a husband who pities you and a group of beautiful sons and daughters, and this life can be regarded as complete. ”

Qing'e closed her eyes, the crow's feet in the corners of her eyes kept twitching, if her mother hadn't taken the lead in attacking the Emperor of Heaven that year, maybe she wouldn't have been martyred, but the hatred in her mother's heart at that time was as vast as this land, she was desperate for a so-called love at first sight, abandoned her noble identity, followed a man with ulterior motives to this strange foreign land, and tried her best to become his wife, but after reaching the most Lu, how much happy and sweet time did she get?

The two were relatively silent, until the kitchen wafted out the sweet smell of food, Qing'e woke up to her responsibilities as the host, she changed a pot of warm water, patted Mei'er's hand, and laughed: "Look at the two of us, why do you always talk about those old things?" You are a human being in two lives, I am an old woman who has a granddaughter, and my heart is still unperfected, which is really ridiculous and generous. ”

The wooden door of the kitchen creaked and was pushed open by Zhiben, he walked out with a nest of fragrant stewed meat and smiled, Jiu'er followed closely behind him with dishes and chopsticks, Qing'e squinted at Mei'er, and said with a smile: "Sister, come and try your brother-in-law's cooking skills, your sister-in-law is rough and hazardous, and has no other strengths, but this cooking skill is worthy of appreciation, although my brother-in-law is amazing, but I think, in his life, he doesn't even know where the room is, right?" ”

Mei'er smiled, picked up the chopsticks, and said, "Qing'e, what you said for a day, this sentence is the most pertinent, the emperor really can't cook." ”

Jiu'er and his wife Bao Xi moved to the southwest to settle down, food, clothing, housing and transportation are all cooked by the husband and wife, Bao Xi is pregnant, cooking and laundry and other heavy sundries fall on Liu'er, a few months down, Jiu'er's cooking skills have improved by leaps and bounds, and Zhiben has been waiting for his wife and children for nearly a hundred years, and his cooking skills have been perfected.

The shadow brought by that sad conversation has long been gone in the aroma of the meal, Bao Xi has not yet been out of the moon, it is inconvenient to go out of the room to accompany him, just stay in the inner room to sleep with his daughter, Jiu'er looks at the door from time to time, and there is always a comfortable smile on the corner of her mouth.

Qing'e thought of her snow-white and pink little granddaughter, and she was happy, she taught her son a parenting sutra at the dinner table, which made Mei'er stunned when she heard it.

After Qing'e chattered for a while, seeing Mei'er's contemplative expression, she leaned close to her ear and whispered: "Sister, you and the emperor have also been married for many years, and you should have given birth to a child to inherit the unification of the Heavenly Palace, why has there been no movement for a long time?" ”

Mei'er stomped Qing'e hard under the table, such a private topic, it doesn't hurt for me to talk to you quietly in the dark, but now that your husband and son are by your side, how can I talk about it?

Qing'e was very well-behaved this time, and she didn't ask any more questions, but just kept adding vegetables to Mei'er's bowl, and said casually: "Jiu'er, have you thought of a name for your daughter?" ”

Jiu'er looked embarrassed, scratched her head and said: "Mother, Bao Xi and I have been thinking about it for more than ten days, but we haven't come up with a good name, mother, don't be lazy, this is your eldest granddaughter, or please give her a name, right?" ”

Qing'e snorted and said, "Your mother and father are both rough people, they can only plant trees and grass, and your daughter was born to you, of course you take the name yourself." ”

Jiu'er lowered her head and muttered, "Who gave my mother's name?" ”

Qing'e was stunned, my name?

Mei'er smiled and said, "Of course, your mother's name was also given by your father." ”

Qing'e smiled bitterly, shook her head, and sighed.

Mei Erqi said: "What's the matter? Could it be that someone else gave you your name? ”

Qing'e heaved and said in a muffled voice: "Our names are engraved on the family tree, when I was just born, I followed a small wooden box with me, and now this little girl was born, but she didn't bring anything, hey, the remnants left by the ancestors are indifferent to Jiu'er's generation." ”

Mei'er's face changed, and she said in a low voice: "Wooden box? ”

Qing'e glanced at her disappreciatively, the sister she picked up was fiddled with by the Emperor of Heaven and didn't know anything, but she was very surprised in her heart, and she wanted to know everything.

She groaned for a while, it was inappropriate to talk about these words at the dinner table, and then said: "I'll talk to you about this matter after dinner, by the way, Mei'er, why don't you name Jiu'er's little girl." ”

Mei'er suppressed the doubts in her heart, she really liked the pink and tender little girl very much, and said: "The name is related to the rise and fall of luck in a lifetime, and I don't know this, well, this is located in the southwest, why don't you call her the south wind, how about it?" ”

Zhiben slapped the table and said loudly: "Okay, it's called the south wind, the south wind and the south wind also feel cool to listen to, I like it." ”

Mei'er was shocked and hurriedly said: "I'm just talking casually, if my brother-in-law has a good name, it's better to change it!" ”

Jiu'er looked at the bearded father and said with a smile: "Auntie doesn't know, Daddy is most afraid of heat, when he doesn't have anything to do on weekdays, his favorite is to sit in the valley and blow the wind. ”

Mei'er said happily: "Okay, I didn't expect my generation to grow up again, ah, what gift should I give to Nanfeng?" ”

She groped around her body, touched the jade butterfly tied to the streamer, and as soon as her mind moved, she untied it and handed it to Jiu'er, saying: "This time I was in a hurry, I didn't bring anything precious, this jade butterfly is also pleasing to look at, so it's better to give it to Nanfeng as a full moon gift!" ”

Jiu'er stood up, took it respectfully, and said, "Jiu'er thanked Aunt for the reward for Nanfeng." ”

After the meal, Jiu'er cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, and Zhiben was old and sleepy, so he took a nap on the big wooden chair.

After Qing'e continued to live with the true qi of the Emperor of Heaven, the fatigue and decadence of the past were swept away, she glanced at Mei'er, pointed out the door, and walked out of the door first.

Mei'er understood, that is, to follow, the sisters strolled outside in the wilderness, at this moment the wind and sand had long since stopped, and the afternoon sun fell on the dirt bit by bit through the dark clouds.

Qing'e pointed to the collapsed ruins in front of her and said, "Mei'er, do you remember this rubble land?" This is where you and I met that year, and this is where our family temple is located! ”

Mei'er shook her head blankly, this land gave her the feeling of being very barren and empty, but last time and this time, she did not feel the sadness that lingered in her dreams in the past, maybe she had indeed been freed from that tangled history, and now her opinion is highly consistent with the emperor, that is, this land belongs to the heavenly domain, and it is only managed by Qing'e.

In her concept, the West has long been an inseparable part of the Celestial Domain.

Qing'e sighed, your amnesia, it's really wonderful, I don't know your previous past, between you and my sisters, there was only a few short contacts in those months, to be honest, I recognized from the bottom of my heart that you were my sister, or after you committed suicide with the holy sword, not before suicide.

She could only look at the sky speechlessly, and she really couldn't understand in her heart, since the emperor had washed away Mei'er's memory, why did he take her into the West from time to time, and after walking here for a long time, she encountered some opportunity to trigger, and remembered everything in the past, and the emperor Your heart may be full of jealousy and pain again.

"Qing'e, you just talked about the little wooden box, what is it?"

Qing'e came back to her senses, she rubbed her sleeve for a moment, took out a small wooden box, picked it up and shook it in front of Mei'er, and said: "Listen to my mother, as long as the Jinling royal family has a descendant, this wooden box will follow, Mei'er, you should also have one!" ”

Mei'er stretched out her hand to take the wooden box, the wooden box was engraved with vertical and horizontal atmospheric lines, opened the box, the box was empty, she closed the box, and asked, "What's inside?" ”

Qing'e's expression was gloomy, inside was the golden bell that our family has passed down for hundreds of thousands of years! It's just that the ancestor left twelve golden bells, and I didn't have the ability to protect them, so the emperor destroyed four of them.

Mei'er looked at Qing'e who wanted to speak suspiciously, and said, "I don't seem to have seen this box in the palace, and I don't have this box with me, Qing'e, is there anything important in it?" ”
