(Collection recommendation reward comment, please support a lot!) )

“…… There is a mixture of things, born from nature. Lonely, independent and unchanging......"

Hongyang Zidao's long beard and hair are white, and the heart of the song smoke is in awe. She was talking in the Star Picking Tower where Princess Yuyang and the ladies were, and there were a few men sitting on the Star Picking Tower on the other side, also listening quietly. Halfway through the conversation, she stopped to rest, and the eldest princess of Yuyang and the chief of Hongyangzi were obviously old acquaintances, so they continued to chat with her. Among the noblewomen who exchanged names with Songyan before the beginning of the discussion was Yangling Feng, who was married from afar, and was the wife of Li Qi, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, who treated Songyan very enthusiastically and refused to let her stay alone, so she asked Songyan to change her clothes with her.

Songyan couldn't bear to refuse, so she went down to the Star Picking Tower with her and went to the place where she changed clothes. The maid of the princess's mansion slapped the fragrant pancreas on Songyan's hand, Songyan carelessly washed off the foam in the wooden basin, and the maidservant on the side hurriedly took out a clean handkerchief, carefully wiped off the water droplets for her, and was about to apply the jade bead paste for her to moisten her hands, Songyan stretched out her hand uncomfortably and said, "I'll come by myself." ”

Hearing her say this, Feng Shi on the side naturally pulled out his hand from the handmaid who was applying jade bead paste to himself, leaned over to Songyan and said, "Mrs. Shao is probably tired of hearing this on weekdays, but I can't help it. She said, holding Songyan's hand and praised, "Your hand really couldn't be better." ”

Songyan didn't know what to answer, so he smiled shyly.

Feng Shi has such a strong temperament, and he loves a quiet character like her, because no one grabbed the talk, and he was an attentive audience, he was very satisfied and continued to chatter. The maidservant led them to the pavilion in the courtyard to rest and eat tea, the pavilion half of the partition door, hidden in the depths of the princess's mansion lush flowers and trees, if the people who come and go to change clothes do not pay attention, they can't see the pavilion here, it seems very hidden and quiet, the two sat and chatted for a while, Feng Shi still took Songyan's hand and said, "In the past, Mrs. Shao didn't often go out and walk, after I got married, I only heard that she was a famous beauty in Beijing, I didn't know that she was so cute, and she would have to come and go often in the future." ”

Song Yan smiled and was about to answer, when she heard the sound of someone's footsteps coming from behind the pavilion, her words paused slightly, and she heard a man shouting from afar, "Dao Chief, stay here!" ”

The voice of the Taoist of Hongyangzi came from behind the pavilion, and it seemed to be a salute and greeting, "Wei Shanren." ”

Hearing the man's footsteps approaching, if he went out at this time, he collided with him, Songyan looked at Feng Shi beside him, and saw that she was slightly excited, and was listening with her ears pricked up, and she didn't mean to go, she hesitated for a moment, and heard the man surnamed Wei outside the pavilion seemed to be approaching, and Hongyangzi said, "Good people are still here for the original thing to find people?" ”

The man said in a respectful and sad tone, "Exactly, the Taoist chief said five years ago that my mother may no longer be alive, but my sister is still alive, but I asked all the people who took in refugees in Beijing fifteen years ago, and checked them one by one, but I still couldn't find them. ”

Hongyangzi said, "Good people, blessings and blessings, life and death are the reincarnation of the world, so don't be too persistent." ”

The man said, "If I don't cling to this, I don't know what else in the world can make me feel alive." ”

Hongyangzi couldn't bear to read a sentence, "Supreme Taiyi saves the suffering Tianzun, a good person, the Tao is natural, and it conforms to the time of day." ”

The man refused to give up and continued, "Dao Chief, is my sister not, is she also ......?"

Halfway through his talk, he couldn't go on. Hongyangzi didn't answer, the man was silent for a long time, and said gloomily, "Thank you, Daoist, the East Building will not bother anymore and take your leave." ”

Weidong Building? Songyan was stunned for a moment, remembering who this man was. Isn't he the deputy general of the Northern Army led by Hou Ye, and he saw him on Suzaku Avenue that day.

The footsteps of Weidonglou were far away, and Feng, who had listened to other people's secrets on the side, said to Songyan, "Who is this Weidonglou?" Fifteen years ago, wasn't it when the Qiangrong people came to Fengnuma? It's very pitiful, listening to the words of the Taoist, this Wei Donglou's mother and sister have passed away. ”

Song Yan knew that he was a person he knew, so he couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable and didn't want to answer, and thought that it would be better to sue her himself, so as to save her from asking around, but it was more conspicuous, so he said, "This is the deputy general of the Northern Army." ”

"The Northern Army?" Feng Shi was puzzled for a moment, but immediately reacted, and said embarrassedly, "This is unintentionally listening to the old things of my family." ”

Song Yan smiled, and before he could speak, Feng stood up and said, "I'll go to the courtyard to get some air, and I'll see you in the Star Picking Tower in a while." After saying that, he took the maid and the servant woman Hula and left, and the maid of the princess's mansion who led them the way saw her walking in a hurry, and couldn't help but be afraid that she would walk around and get lost.

Songyan sat in the pavilion for a while, thinking that Feng's embarrassment had passed, so she stood up and wanted to leave, and when she heard the pavilion behind Hongyangzi, the Taoist chief Xu had gone to the toilet, and met someone again, she learned her lesson this time, and hurriedly left in the opposite direction with the snow buds and clouds.

It's just that he walked in the opposite direction from an unfamiliar one, the path was tortuous, and after walking for a long time, he actually went back to the back of Fang Cai's pavilion, and was just bumping into the head of Hongyangzi talking to the woman who was very conspicuous on the star-picking tower.

Songyan stepped forward to salute, and Daoist Hongyangzi also smiled and saluted in return. Songyan already knew that this conspicuous woman was Miss Cao, who was different from ordinary people in everyone's mouth, so she also greeted her, although Miss Cao returned the salute, and the etiquette was not bad, but after straightening up, she looked at Songyan unceremoniously from the bottom up with her eyes. Songyan was uncomfortable, and was about to speak, when Daoist Hongyangzi suddenly said loudly, "Huizhong." ”

Songyan was stunned when she heard this, but when she saw Miss Cao on the side bowing her hand and respectfully answering, knowing that her name was called, she couldn't help but wonder how Daoist Hongyangzi was so familiar with an inner relative?

She heard Hongyangzi turn to her and said, "Good man, I still have a few words of gossip to say with Huizhong, you might as well go back to the Star Picking Tower first, the master of Yuyang Zhai is still looking for you." ”

Song Yan hurriedly said goodbye respectfully, and when he left, he faintly heard Hongyang Zidao Chief admonishing Miss Cao in a stern tone, "...... Your Master...... Don't be rude...... It shouldn't have been ......"

Maybe Hongyangzi's words really worked, and then the discussion ended, after the eldest princess of Yuyang entertained the guests, until Songyan was about to leave the princess's mansion, Miss Cao didn't come to bother, but Songyan was not happy, and even a little depressed. Seeing her like this, Yunwu secretly asked her what was wrong after getting out of the weeping flower gate and getting into the carriage, Songyan was depressed and perfunctory, Yunwu thought about it, and asked, "Is it because of Miss Cao?" ”

Although he didn't hear Songyan admit it, Yunwu still said indignantly, "It's really rude, especially outside the pavilion, to look at you so directly!" ”

Xue Ya wondered, "I don't know why Miss Cao is eyeing our wife?" Our backyard lady has never seen her on weekdays, why do you treat your wife like this? ”

Songyan snorted unhappily in her heart, and before she could speak, the carriage suddenly stopped, and the three ladies in the car were puzzled, and the gauze curtain on the side was suddenly gently lifted by someone, and Songyan looked over, and outside the window of the car was Shao Ding who was riding on a horse, she couldn't help but say in surprise, "Master Hou?" What are you doing here? ”

Shao Ding's face remained unchanged when he heard this, but his answer was a little slower than before, and he said, "The matter of tomorrow's sacrifice has been dealt with." ”

Song Yan laughed, and Shao Ding asked again, "What are you talking about?" I heard you mention Miss Leung Kwok Gong, did she disrespect you? ”

Songyan was about to tell him truthfully, but seeing that he didn't pay attention to Miss Cao, he thought about it and swallowed it back, and said, "I didn't do anything to me, maybe it's because Miss Cao doesn't have a good personality with me, but she just doesn't like to talk to me." ”

Shao Ding was relieved when he heard this, and instructed, "People are different, and this is also a common thing. If you meet her again at the banquet in the future, you can stay farther away. ”

Songyan nodded solemnly with a stiff face, Shao Ding put down the curtain with satisfaction, and instructed the coachman to start outside the car, Songyan waited for the carriage to move, covered his mouth with a handkerchief, and smiled so hard that his cheeks hurt.
