The crisp and long sound of bangzi echoed in the quiet and deep night, and in the dark night when the curfew was approaching, Su Yixing, who had a drink with Wen Jiling, finally returned to the courtyard of Xiangyang Palace. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Zhichun, tell the people in the stove room to prepare water, and the prince should bathe." In the flickering lights, warm and bright room, I had dinner with Xie's family, and then I had been listening to Xia Shuanghan waiting for Su Yixing's return in the Tao courtyard, and after hearing the news of the little girl's return "The prince is back", he immediately instructed the girl next to him: "Bell, go to the stove room to serve the decanting soup." ”

"What? You haven't slept because you've been waiting for me? Su Yixing, who walked into the house across the threshold with a not strong smell of wine, and could see that Xia Shuanghan was obviously worried about his delay, sat down beside her and took the decanting soup served by the bell, and only when there were only the two of them in the room, did he speak: "Didn't you say that you want to leave with me?" Why, do you still care about me now? ”

"Why not? Even if it's a cat and a dog, I've been with each other for more than half a year and I'm not a stone, how can I be completely indifferent and indifferent to you. ”

Looking up and down, and carefully looking at Su Yixing, he confirmed that he did go out to buy drunk just now, but Xia Shuanghan, who was not really drunk, said: "And what I said to you this afternoon, the intention expressed is not strong to the extent of 'if you don't agree, I will confront you to the end', so if you think that I will be angry with you for that matter, and then ignore you, then you are really wrong." ”

Su Yixing, who silently raised his head and drank the decanting soup, was silent for a moment after putting down the empty bowl, and finally made up his mind to open his mouth after reaching out to hold his sweetheart's soft water.

"Frost Cold, what you said to me this afternoon, I just thought about it carefully. I believe that the reason why you put forward that you want to leave me now is indeed for the sake of our Su family's family of three, and I don't want to use your departure to hurt us when our feelings get along more deeply in the future. But, I'm sorry, I can't accept your kindness. ”

"It may seem to you that this marriage that will eventually be dissolved is just a meaningless episode in your life that has delayed your good years, but it is not like that to me. Growing up, I never genuinely liked anyone other than you. Therefore, I have never experienced the quiet years of being with my beloved. But after meeting you, I think that such a warm and beautiful life is not far away from me. ”

"Even if you have amnesia, you still choose to marry Lu Shaoyun and choose to live and die with him, your persistence and persistence have made me understand the fact that I will not be able to enter your heart as a lover in this life. But even though I know you're going to choose to leave me eventually, can I ask you not to leave so early and so ruthlessly? ”

"Two years, not a long two years, and in that time, I hope you can always be by my side, okay?" With the worry and apprehension of fear of rejection on his face, Su Yixing, whose fingertips trembled slightly, smiled bitterly and lightly: "In the next two years, can we not have quarrels and confrontations, but choose to support each other, care for each other, accompany each other like those gray-haired old couples, and live a plain and warm life together?" ”

"I see, you mean to say that you want to spend the next two years or so to allow yourself to experience life that you have never experienced before, and create some good memories to remember later, right?"

Facing Su Yixing, who looked sad, Xia Shuanghan didn't fail to understand his mood, "Although I will definitely lose it in the end, I want to keep it and cherish it until the last moment when I still have it for the time being".

"In the face of my request, Frost Cold, soft-hearted like you, will definitely agree, right?" Staring deeply at Xia Shuanghan's eyes, which had already revealed mood swings, Su Yixing slightly clenched the soft hand and said, "In the next two years or so, can you not have any contact and contact with Lu Shaoyun, but only accompany me as my nominal wife?" ”

"Yes, if two years of comfort and appeasement can make up for the regrets in your heart and help you start a new life better when you and I are separated in the future, then I think I am willing to meet your request. Just ......"

At this point, Xia Shuanghan, who paused for a moment and thought for a while, said, "If you want me to not have any contact and contact with Tingxuan for the next two years or so, what are you going to do?" Take me out of the capital? ”

"Yes." After pausing for a moment after making a short one-word answer, he raised his eyes to observe the person beside him, and made sure that Xia Shuanghan did not have any bad emotions because of his answer, and then continued: "In a few days, I will go to the Liaodong region to investigate the case according to the assignment above." And when the case is over, I will write to the Emperor and ask His Majesty to send me there to stay in office. And I hope that you will disguise yourself as a man and go on the road with me, and live there with me as my wife during my stay in Liaodong. ”

"Do you want to leave the capital and go to Liaodong? Indeed, if I leave the Xiangyang Mansion now, it will indeed make Aunt Su not feel so emotionally unacceptable when I leave the Mansion in the future and when I leave the Mansion. ”

After pondering for a moment, Xia Shuanghan, who thought that Su Yixing's request was not very difficult, finally nodded in agreement. "When to go? Shopping, packing my belongings, saying goodbye to my family and friends, all of these things I need to complete before I leave Beijing, all take a lot of work. ”

"Shopping and packing luggage, Aunt Xie can help you, we will leave in five days, these few days should be enough for you to say goodbye to your relatives and friends, right?"

Having said this, he couldn't help but have a bitter face, and Su Yixing, who looked reluctant, finally added: "Lu Tingxuan, I think it's best for you to talk to him too, even if you tell him about the three-year covenant between us, it doesn't matter." All I have to do is ask him not to appear in front of me again for the rest of my time, take you away from me, and disturb my life. ”

"Okay, I'll make it clear to him." Sincerely agreed to Su Yixing's request, Xia Shuanghan only felt that his situation was the same as that of the dying people's families who did everything to help the dying people who were concerned about them get a good death, and then made every effort to help them achieve their wishes before they died.

"Either way, it's always good to set a peaceful tone early for the next two years or so. The matter has come to this, go to Liaodong and go to Liaodong! ”

So in this way, in the next few days, in addition to preparing for the trip to Liaodong with the Xie family, Xia Shuanghan also got together with his relatives and friends in a hurry.

The incident of staying in Guanzhuang Village in order to take care of Lu Shaoyun, who was infected with typhoid fever, was rewritten as "Zhongyi Xiangjun was the first to discover the outbreak of the epidemic in Guanzhuang Village, so he organized a doctor to diagnose it in time, and dispatched people to take corresponding measures to prevent the spread of the epidemic, and finally stayed in the village for the sake of taking care of the patients".

Therefore, with such a rumor that is biased towards Xia Shuanghan, coupled with the reward awarded by the Holy Lord for her meritorious service, the scandal of "the princess of Xiangyang Wang and the deputy commander of Jinwu Weilu" was strangled in the bud before it had time to emerge.

In the face of Xia Shuanghan who "stayed to resist the epidemic in order to save others", Liu Zirun, Zhang Yunyan, Xie Zhuoting and the Chen family brothers, who did not know the truth, expressed their heartfelt wishes for her upcoming journey to Liaodong with her husband, and hoped that the couple could adapt to life in Liaodong as soon as possible.

And Baliya and Xia Jingzhi, who knew the real reason why Xia Shuanghan stayed in Guanzhuang Village, obviously couldn't be as optimistic and indifferent as others.

"The reason why Su Yixing wants to bring you to Liaodong this time is because he is angry that you are taking care of the sick Brother Tingxuan, so he wants to isolate the two of you so that you will never see each other again, right?"

In Baimi Lane in the east of the city, in the small courtyard that Lin Xiran rented temporarily, Baliya, who heard Xia Shuanghan's "farewell talk", had the same reaction as Xia Jingzhi, "This day Emperor Gao is far away, once you go away with him in Liaodong, what should he do if he goes over there to bully you for this matter?" ”

"Am I the kind of person who will be bullied by the same person all the time? Besides, if he wants to trouble me for Tingxuan's illness, give me some medicine to give me the illusion that I can't afford to be seriously ill, then he can do it at will, why do you want to go to a place so far away in Liaodong, the cost is too high, right? ”

Xia Shuanghan, who smiled lightly and denied Baliya's conjecture full of concern, and was not ready to talk about the complicated emotional entanglements between herself and Su Yixing, comforted her friend with a relaxed attitude: "In short, you can put one hundred and twenty hearts, and if you go to Liaodong this time, nothing will happen that is unfavorable to me." The only thing you need to worry about is to help me often go to see Chaoyang during my absence in the capital to make sure that he is doing well. ”

"Don't worry, Sister Shuanghan, Brother Chaoyang is the same as my own brother, I don't need you to say that I will often go over to see him. When you come back in a few years, you will see a tall, healthy and sturdy half-grown teenager again. ”

"Frost and cold, Tingxuan is here." What suddenly interrupted Xia Shuanghan and Baliya's conversation was the mellow voice belonging to Lin Xiran that came from outside, and then behind the door curtain, Lu Shaoyun, who was specially found by Lin Xiran, came to get together.

"Sister Shuanghan, you talk, I won't bother." With a smile on her face, she greeted Lu Shaoyun, who walked into the room, and Ba Liya, who was quite eye-catching, quickly stood up and walked out of the house, and together with Lin Xiran, left plenty of space for the two people in the room to talk.

"Shuang Han, I heard Xiran say that Su Yixing wants to take you to Liaodong?" Lu Shaoyun, who hurriedly walked to the square table and sat down on the square stool where Baliya had just sat on, said: "And it is said that you have been gone for several years and have not come back?" ”

"It's not years, it's two years and two months." After the memory loss under the pressure of the force, when I saw a "brand-new" Lu Shaoyun every day, the strange sense of contradiction that was both familiar and unfamiliar, looking at Xia Shuanghan, who was looking at the future husband with an anxious and reluctant look on his face, quickly picked out the main point of the matter and gave a brief and quick explanation.

"In other words, if you go, in two years and two months, you will become free and detached when you come back, and you will be able to marry me immediately, right?"

After listening to Xia Shuanghan's explanation, Lu Shaoyun, who only felt ecstatic for a moment, immediately stretched out his arms and hugged his sweetheart into his arms. "Great, Frost, Great! I couldn't believe that the happiness I thought I would have to wait for five or eight years to get turned out to be only two years away from me! I'm really ...... I'm so happy! ”

"Are you so happy? Then I should have been as happy as you did. ”

Buried in Lu Shaoyun's neck, although he has to reacquaint himself with his future husband every day, after more than a month of training in Guanzhuang Village, although his memory is missing, Xia Shuanghan, who has been accustomed to Lu Shaoyun's contact physically, said: "It's just that the next two years or so will be hard for you." After all, Su Zhechen said that he didn't want to see you until the appointed day came. ”

"Two years, whether it's long or not, it's not short, it's okay if you want to hold back and not see you, it's just ......" raised his hand and pressed Xia Shuanghan's shoulder as he spoke, gently pushed her up from his arms, and stared at his sweetheart Lu Shaoyun with a smile: "It's just that if you are willing to give me a little sweetness as support, I think I can survive these two years more easily." ”

"Little sweet? What little sweetness? Xia Shuanghan, who blinked his eyes in a little panic for a while, roughly guessing what Lu Shaoyun was hinting at, couldn't help but swallow his saliva nervously at the same time, and then his voice trembled slightly: "I'll tell you, don't come nonsense!" I'm not your wife yet! ”

"I'm not nonsense to you, wouldn't it be better if you were nonsense to me?" Lu Shaoyun, who hooked the corners of his lips to reveal a sly smile as he spoke, suddenly raised his hand to wrap his hand around Xia Shuanghan's waist, and Xia Shuanghan, who leaned forward uncontrollably under the push of external force, just "chirped" and hit Lu Shaoyun's cheek with two petal-like lips.

"You...... You, it turns out that you still harbor such a bad eye? Xia Shuanghan, who leaned back in panic after breaking free from Lu Shaoyun's restraints, opened a pair of round eyes, and his face was full of shyness, surprise and disbelief.

"How can this be considered a bad eye?" Lu Shaoyun, who got his wish, said with an innocent smile: "Isn't it normal for men and women who are happy with each other to have intimate contact?" Why didn't I, the person who was kissed, speak, but you, the person who was a relative, instead beat me up and said that I had bad intentions? ”

"You...... Are you still the same Lu Shaoyun I saw at the beginning? In the last remaining memory of you, you are beautiful and virtuous! ”

"I'm really embarrassed," Lu Shaoyun, who raised his hand and gently pinched Xia Shuanghan's silky face, said with a smile on his face: "Whether in the past life or this life, what you love is not the serious me, but the cheeky and tricky me now." ”

“...... It seems that the correct aesthetics that I have cultivated since I was a child have been overturned and rebuilt by you after meeting you. Raised his hand and gently slapped away the hand that Lu Shaoyun was pinching her face, and then laughed with him as a summer frost, and suddenly realized the wonder of knowing the "different self" that he had never realized through Lu Shaoyun.

On the ninth day of the second lunar month, this day was the last of the five days for Su Yixing to inform Xia Shuanghan and let her make all kinds of preparations to go to Liaodong, and it was also the day when Lu Shaoyun, who had fully recovered from typhoid fever, escorted the southwest envoys to leave Beijing and embark on the return journey.

On a sunny afternoon, at the gate of the Zhenqu Pavilion in the west city of Beijing, Xia Shuanghan, who was going out alone, planned to sell calligraphy and paintings for the last time before leaving Beijing, was planning to rush back to Xiangyang Wangfu to complete the final travel preparations after the silver and goods were paid, but just when she took her beloved horse Hongyun from the hands of the guys in the Zhenqu Pavilion and was expected to turn over on the horse, a carriage galloping on the street suddenly stopped beside her.

"May I ask if the girl is Miss Xia of Zhongyi Township, Xia Chaoyang's sister Xia Shuanghan?" The one who hurriedly jumped out of the carriage that had not yet fully stopped, and then stumbled two steps and almost fell, was a thin young man dressed as a scholar.

"Yes, I am, may I ask who you are?" Raising his hand to support the young man's upper arm, providing him with a strength to help him stand firm as soon as possible, Xia Shuanghan, who deduced that something might have happened to his younger brother, changed his face slightly, and at the same time only felt a sinking in his heart.

"Hui Zhongyi Xiangjun, here's the thing." The young man who stood firm said quickly: "My little young master and your younger brother Xia Xiaogongzi are also studying in Yangcheng Academy, and not long ago during the recess activities, my young master and Xia Xiaogongzi had some disputes, and in the following pushing, they accidentally caused Xia Xiaogongzi to break his forehead on the corner of the table. ”

"Now, Mr. Fang of the school has taken Xia Xiaogongzi to the Qianjin Hall, which is the closest to the school, to see a doctor, and Xia Xiaogongzi's little servant has rushed to find Xia Hanlin Xia, and the little one is to come to Xiangyang Wangfu to find the townsman according to Mr. Fang's request. At the gatehouse of the Xiangyang Palace, the old housekeeper told the little one that you were now selling paintings in the True Fun Pavilion of the West Market, so I found it here non-stop.
