On the morning of August 17, I seemed to have a strange dream at night, and when I was woken up by Qingwen and Musk Yue, I seemed to be in a painting boat on the Qinhuai River. Xiao Yiran rubbed his eyes and slowly sat up from the bed.

It was only dawn outside the window, and the crickets under the bed and in the corner of the wall were still intermittent.

I couldn't figure out for a while, whether it was a dream now, or Xiao Yiran, who was in a dream in the painting boat on the Qinhuai River, stretched out his hand to cloak his clothes, and just got out of bed, when he heard the movement, Qingwen and Musk Yue outside walked in.

"Miss, it's still early. How can you no longer sleep with you? ”

Knowing that yesterday was the wedding day of Lin Chen and the eldest princess Yinghui, Miss must have been in a bad mood, seeing that Miss got up so early, Qingwen and Musk Yue were naturally very worried.

"It's okay, I can't sleep when I'm lying down, it's better to get up."

Under the service of Qingwen and Musk Yue, after washing up neatly, Xiao Yiran came to the courtyard for a walk. Looking at the flowers and trees in late autumn, my thoughts involuntarily flew to Bianliang. I silently said in my heart:

Brother Lin Chen's newlywed is happy.

I couldn't help but cry in my eyes.

"Miss."

Musk Yue, who was by her side, didn't know how to comfort Miss.

Qingwen finished packing up her things in the room, and when she came out, she saw the young lady crying silently, and persuaded her distressedly:

"Miss, don't think about it anymore, that kind of person is not worth Miss about."

As he spoke, he handed Xiao Yiran a piece of brocade, and when he saw that Xiao Yiran didn't answer, he reached out to wipe away the tears on his cheeks for Xiao Yiran.

"Miss, it's time to go and say hello to the old lady."

"Well, let's go."

Only then did Qingwen wipe the Jinpa in her hand, wipe the tears off her face, and walk all the way to the courtyard where her parents lived.

When they came to Xiao Guoliang and Sun's residence, the husband and wife had just gotten up and were freshening up.

"Why did Ran'er get up so early?"

"Yes, it's cold, it's better to lie down a little longer."

Sun and Xiao Guoliang said one after another.

"Mother, Daddy, I can't sleep when I'm lying down, so I might as well get up and take a walk."

"Well, it's fine to go for a walk, but wear more clothes and beware of catching a cold. Yanshan Mansion is located in the north, and winter comes exceptionally early. ”

"Got it, Daddy."

"Feel free to walk around the yard, and it's time for breakfast in a minute."

Both husband and wife knew their daughter's mood, so no one mentioned the eldest princess Yinghui's marriage.

After breakfast, seeing that his daughter was in a trance, Sun said:

"Ran'er, do you want to go outside for a walk, or will you lie down in the room again?"

"Mother, Ran'er is fine. If your father and mother are relieved, Ran'er wants to go far away. ”

The husband and wife thought to themselves, why did they have to go out again not long after they came back? However, the husband and wife, who understood their daughter's feelings, still asked softly:

"Where do you want to go?"

"I haven't thought about it yet, I just want to walk around."

"However, it's better to be like this, now that midwinter is approaching, it will soon be freezing weather, and it is not a good time to go out at this time. It's better to wait for a while and wait for the spring flowers to bloom before going out. When the time comes, won't it be warmer and warmer all the way south? ”

Xiao Guoliang smiled and persuaded.

Xiao Yiran really just said it casually just now, because she always felt panicked, so she wanted to go out for a walk. I was afraid that I would be recognized in Yanshan Mansion, in case the emperor knew about the fraudulent death, I didn't care, wouldn't it involve my parents, so I said that I wanted to go far away. Seeing what his parents meant, he didn't worry about going out now, so he had to dispel the thoughts in his heart. Nodding his head and saying:

"It's okay, just listen to my father, and wait for the spring to go out after the new year."

Next, for four and a half months from late autumn to early spring, Xiao Yiran didn't know how he lived. For fear of being recognized, he had to stay in the Yanshan Mansion all day, accompanied by books day and night. It's just that with Lin Chen in his heart, how can he read the book.

Xiao Yiran finally understood that once there is a shadow of a person in his heart, it is not easy to forget it.

Although Qingwen kept muttering in her ear, an ungrateful person like Lin Chen was not worth thinking about. But Xiao Yiran knew that it was not Lin Chen's fault. It was the emperor who gave him the marriage as the princess of Chu, and he was forced to cheat to death first, followed by Lin Chen who was given marriage, and the eldest princess was still Yinghui.

Sometimes Xiao Yiran also thinks, what will be the outcome if he doesn't cheat to death?

What will be the result of resisting the decree and not marrying Zhao Heng?

Lin Chen knew that he was still alive, would he also resist the eldest princess Yinghui?

In four and a half months, Xiao Yiran lost a whole weight, which made Xiao Guoliang's father see it in his eyes and hurt in his heart. Although I don't approve of my daughter traveling far away again, I don't want to watch my daughter live such an unhappy life and break her body again.

Unconsciously, the husband and wife also began to look forward to the early arrival of spring, so that their daughter could go out for a walk, so as to relieve the unhappiness in their hearts.

The beginning of spring in the new year is the sixth day of the first month, but Yanshan Mansion is located in the north, although it has begun spring seasonally, but there is still no shadow of spring, there is still unmelted residual snow everywhere, and frozen rivers everywhere. The cold northwest wind is still cold, making it difficult to stretch your hands and feet.

However, Xiao Guoliang and Sun, who were heartbeating daughters, did not wait for Xiao Yiran to mention it, but they were already urging their daughters to leave as soon as possible.

On the evening of the tenth day of the Lunar New Year, the family who had had dinner sat together and gossiped.

"Ran'er, it's spring on the sixth day of the new year, or go away at the twelve, go all the way south, and go to my uncle's house in Jiangning Mansion for two days, and the weather will soon be warmer."

"Well, it's okay, let's go on the morning of twelve and eleven mornings."

set a date, and all day the next day, including Xiao Guoliang, they were packing up for Xiao Yiran. Since you are going to go to your uncle's house in Jiangning Mansion, you must prepare some gifts. This is also one of the reasons why Xiao Guoliang did not go to the Yamen.

The day of eleven passed quickly in the hustle and bustle of the family. By the early morning of the twelfth morning, as soon as the sky was bright, the family had already gotten up, Xiao Guoliang and his wife checked their luggage again, sat down for breakfast, and personally sent Xiao Yiran's master and servant out of Yanshan Mansion.

This time, it was Xiao Qing, who was replaced from Bianliang last year. Because she has to take care of Xiaoyue, Xiaoxi has no companions.

Under the instructions of Xiao Guoliang and the Sun couple, Xiao Qing drove the carriage, and Qingwen and Musk Yue accompanied Xiao Yiran in the carriage, along the official road all the way to Nanxing.

Ten days later, when he came to Bianliang City, Xiao Qing, who knew the truth of the matter, did not rush into the city, but walked around the city from afar, for fear that the young lady would touch the scene.

Not long after leaving Bianliang City, the shadow of spring has begun to appear on the road. Occasionally, you can see a little green under the sunny hillside, and the slender branches of the willow trees by the river have turned yellow. And there are already tender yellow bulges on it, which are willow buds that will quickly stretch out when the warm south wind blows.

Looking, watching, Xiao Yiran's mood couldn't help but gradually improve.
