Shangyuan Festival.

Huzhou City has always had a tradition of Lantern Festival, and this year is no exception.

Xu is for a good job, as early as a few days ago, when the New Year's atmosphere was still very strong, the newly appointed Lord Zhizhou asked people to clean up the ice on the surface of the most famous Shili Lotus Lake in Huzhou.

This year's Lantern Festival is held on the Shili Lotus Embankment, and all kinds of painted boats connect the Shili Lotus Embankment almost into a flat land, and people can completely walk through these boats to complete the Ten Mile Lotus Embankment. There are also lanterns of different shapes hanging on the boat, and there are many interesting lantern riddles on the lanterns.

It is conceivable that this year's Lantern Festival will be more lively and interesting than in previous years.

If it weren't for the sudden receipt of the holy decree, maybe the people of the Marquis of Weiyuan Mansion at this moment would also be discussing this year's Lantern Festival, and they would be excited about the generosity of the newly appointed Lord Zhizhou.

But because of that sudden will, the atmosphere in the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion was very dignified, especially among the subordinates, and some people were panicked.

Since receiving the holy decree, Mu Qingwan has already begun to prepare for entering Beijing.

Write a letter to inform the Hou Mansion in the capital to get ready, say goodbye to the family who is good friends in Huzhou, what things to take away in the Hou Mansion, which warehouse to lock the furniture left behind, and how many carriages to load the luggage of the master's maid......

And what the people of the Hou Mansion are most concerned about is which people Mu Qingwan is going to take to the capital.

The huge Hou Mansion, of course, has a lot of subordinates, and it is said that these people have signed a death contract, so they can only follow the master.

But these people have lived in Huzhou for so many years, and although some of them were sold to the Hou Mansion, they have relatives.

Some want to go with them to see the hustle and bustle of the capital, while others just want to stay in the familiar Huzhou.

Everyone paid attention to Mu Qingwan, wondering what decision she would make.

In fact, Mu Qingwan has been thinking about this issue these days.

At the beginning, the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion moved to Huzhou in a hurry, and because of Zhao Youjun's reasons, none of the original servants of the Hou Mansion were brought to Huzhou, so to speak, except for the old servants who guarded the door in the Hou Mansion in the capital, and the few servants who took care of the Hou Mansion's property in the capital. The Weiyuan Marquis Mansion in the capital is now an empty house.

Such a big Hou Mansion, of course, it is impossible not to have people to serve it.

Rather than go to the capital and buy new subordinates to re-train, Mu Qingwan would of course prefer to use these old people in Huzhou, after all, in the past six months. She has taken these people completely for herself.

However, Mu Qingwan will not ignore the wishes of these people.

So Mu Qingwan went down directly, no matter who it was, as long as the people who were willing to follow into Beijing would follow them into Beijing this time, as for the others. Except for a few who are left to guard the house, the others can be repaid with the deed of sale.

With the right words, the subordinates of the Hou Mansion are undoubtedly much more relaxed, those who want to go to the capital are full of joy to pack their luggage, and those who want to stay in Huzhou can get back their deed of sale, which is undoubtedly the greatest gift for them.

Whether it is to leave or stay, because of the joy in my heart and the expectation for the future, I am much more efficient in completing the things that Mu Qingwan ordered in the next few days.

A few days passed in such a tense and hectic way.

On the night of the Shangyuan Festival. Leaning on the side of the Shili Lotus Embankment, there was a lot of people, but in Luoshuixuan, Mu Qingwan's bedroom, it was quiet.

Mu Qingwan leaned on the carved bed under him, half-squinting and falling into deep thought.

At this time, the night was getting darker, and the people who were waiting in the room had been waved away, Mu Qingwan took off the hairpin ring, and a soft green silk was casually draped down, and under the swaying light, the black hair and the white face formed a strong contrast. There's a faint sense of seductiveness.

When Feng Lin pushed open the door, he saw such a picture.

Half a year ago, Feng Lin had very few chances to see Mu Qingwan, and in the past six months. Although the two have more opportunities to meet each other than before, every time they meet, Mu Qingwan's face is faint, so Mu Qingwan, who has taken off his heart and face and is smooth, Feng Lin has seen it many years ago.

Inexplicably, Feng Lin remembered the picture when the two of them snuggled up to each other.

For a while, I was even a little stupid.

If it was usual, Feng Lin would not have walked into Luo Shuixuan. I won't even enter Mu Qingwan's room.

But since receiving the holy decree that day and knowing that he was about to return to the capital, his heart has been a little restless.

Especially tonight, thinking that he would leave for Beijing tomorrow, Feng Lin couldn't hold back the desire in his heart, and followed his heart's wishes all the way to Luo Shuixuan and came to Mu Qingwan.

Feng Lin and Mu Qingwan met in the capital, childhood sweethearts, two little guesses, and then naturally became a husband and wife who everyone admired.

Before entering the palace and meeting the eldest princess of Qingping, Feng Lin had always believed that he would be a couple with Mu Qingwan for the rest of his life.

However, the world is unpredictable.

At that time, he and Mu Qingwan probably didn't expect that they would come to this point in the end.

Feng Lin was already dead.

Before today, he never thought that Mu Qinghui would treat him like before, after all, all her misfortunes could almost be said to come from him.

So it was, he thought, though they couldn't go back to the way they were, but they lived under the same roof and would continue to do so until they were all coming to the end of their lives.

Even if you can't be as close as before, you can go through this life with you from afar, and you must have no regrets.

Or the old saying, the world is unpredictable, who would have thought that when he was already dead, there would be such a holy decree that would come to Huzhou thousands of miles away?

This made Feng Lin gradually grow a hope in his heart.

After returning to the capital, only Mu Qingwan is known to everyone as Mrs. Weiyuan Hou, and Zhao Youjun's existence is only tried to cover it up by any insider, and she can no longer be between him and Mu Qingwan, let alone affect their future lives.

This is something that Feng Lin has been looking forward to for so many years, and it suddenly came when he didn't expect it.

No one knew how happy Feng Lin was when he received the holy decree.

Therefore, in the dead of night, he could no longer suppress the excitement in his heart, came to Luoshui Xuan, and pushed open the door of Mu Qingwan's bedroom.

The carved wooden door made a slightly harsh creak in this quiet night, and Mu Qingwan turned his head when he heard the sound, and there was no surprise in his eyes when he saw the phoenix lin who appeared at the door.

Feng Lin wouldn't know that just before he came in, in this room, there was another conversation between Mu Qingwan and Feng Zhige.

"Stop singing. Although many of your mothers can't see clearly, do you have to go back to the capital? Mu Qingwan pulled the slightly moving strand of hair on Feng Zhige's forehead behind her ear and asked softly.

Although in the eyes of others. Feng Zhige, who was born in Huzhou, has never been to the capital, but Mu Qingwan subconsciously used the word "Hui" in his words.

Speaking of returning to the capital, Mu Qingwan is of course happy, which means that she can meet her relatives who have been separated for many years. But in comparison, she hoped that Feng Zhige could be in this small Huzhou city. Grow up safely and live some stable days.

Just because, she always felt that if Feng Zhige returned to the capital, she would have to face a lot of wind and rain.

As a mother, she doesn't ask her daughter to stand at any height in the future, as long as her daughter can live this life peacefully and happily, it is her greatest wish.

Feng Zhige understood what Mu Qingwan meant, his eyes softened, but he nodded. As if sighing, he said, "Yes, I have to go back to the capital after all." ”

Her old people, her enemies, are there.

Mu Qingwan was silent, although she didn't agree, she had always supported Feng Zhige, no matter what Feng Zhige wanted to do.

Feng Zhige turned his head and looked at Mu Qingwan's face that was softer by the candlelight, "Mother, what about you." Do you want to go back to the capital? Do you want to go back? ”

Although the two questions seem to be the same, they have different meanings.

Mu Qingwan was slightly stunned, and then smiled lightly.

She wanted to go back to see her long-lost relatives, but returned to the capital. It means that she must relive the past twenty years ago, and those sweet memories are also the beginning of her twenty years of pain.

Feng Zhige looked at Mu Qingwan's eyes and said very seriously: "Mother, you don't have to force yourself, if you don't want to go back, you can not go back." If you don't want to go back with such an identity, you will always find a way, for example, and leave? ”

This is what Feng Zhige wanted to say a long time ago.

Although Feng Lin is her current nominal father, Feng Zhige has never recognized his identity as a father.

In Feng Zhige's view, the weakest entanglement between Mu Qingwan, Feng Lin and Zhao Youjun is undoubtedly Feng Lin.

Mu Qingwan has suffered for more than 20 years for this past, even Zhao Youjun has paid a huge price for it, and even if he snatches Fenglin to his side, he has never been really happy.

But Fenglin, not only has he not lost his power, but he also has a beautiful flower around him, and he has both children under his knees. In this love-hate relationship between the three of them that lasted for more than 20 years, all he paid was an occasional sigh for the past.

A man who can't even protect his wife and children, and even always thinks that this qiē is just because of Zhao Youjun's coercion, which is not only weak and incompetent, but also has not the courage to take responsibility.

Don't say anything, the person he pretended to be in his heart was always Mu Qingwan, if this was the case, Feng Mingxiang and Feng Mingwu would not have jumped out of Zhao Youjun's stomach one after another.

This made Feng Zhige very disdainful, if Mu Qingwan really made up her mind to reconcile with Feng Lin, she would definitely approve with both hands.

Hearing the word "Heli", Mu Qingwan was stunned, and then shook his head gently.

"Stop singing, you don't understand......" There was reminiscence and confusion in his eyes, and Mu Qingwan's voice seemed a little erratic, "I met your father when I was a child, and then I was a young husband and wife, and now, more than 30 years of time, I have long been tightly tied to him, although it is impossible for us to go back to the past, but we can't be separated." ”

"Not to mention ......"

Mu Qingwan didn't say the next words, but looked at Feng Zhige's eyes with more kindness.

Mu Qingwan didn't know a lot about Feng Zhige, of course, she didn't need to understand, she just needed to know that it was her daughter in front of her. Since she is a mother, of course she wants to leave the best to her daughter, as long as she is still Mrs. Weiyuan Hou, then Zhige is the eldest daughter of the Hou Mansion, if she and Fenglin reconcile, and have a mother who is divorced, Zhige will inevitably encounter a lot of criticism when discussing marriage in the future, and she will definitely not find any good family.

How could she let her daughter suffer this because of herself?

Feng Zhige was silent for a while, "Mother, you should know, I don't care about this." ”

Feng Zhige, who was reborn from the ashes, is no longer the cold Su of more than 20 years ago, compared to before, she is even more scornful of the love between men and women, and she never thought that she would marry one day.

Mu Qingwan's eyes showed distress, she thought that the reason why Feng Zhige was so cold was because she saw the misfortune between her and Feng Lin in the past 20 years.

She stroked Feng Zhige's soft hair, and said softly: "Anyway, this is me, a mother, who wants to do something for my daughter." ”

Although the voice is soft. But it does not hide the firmness in it.

Feng Zhige stopped persuading, since she put Mu Qingwan in the scope of her own people, she hoped that she could do what she wanted, no matter what it was.

The flickering candlelight danced on the faces of the mother and daughter. There is a reassuring tranquility in the room.

After a long time, Feng Zhige raised his eyes and glanced out the door, "Mother, he's here." ”

……

Mu Qingwan looked at Feng Lin quietly.

They have known each other since they were children, and it has been more than 30 years now.

Although the road they walked together was not as smooth as expected. Among them, there are many hardships and tribulations, but after all, they have been together through childhood, youth, and then all the way to today's middle age.

The naughty boy who would hide in the trees and make people unreachable has gradually faded away from his original ignorance and youthfulness, and even has more wind and frost left over by the years on his face.

Mu Qingwan suddenly felt a little sad.

What is more sad in this world than discovering that the person in your mind is no longer what she was at the beginning?

"You're here." She said calmly.

Mu Qingwan's calm made Feng Lin a little surprised, since receiving the holy decree, the two have never met again, he didn't expect it. After learning that he was about to return to Beijing, Mu Qingwan would still be so calm when he saw him.

It's like returning to Beijing is just a trivial matter, and it can't leave a trace in her heart at all.

Feng Lin was inexplicably a little overwhelmed, and his heart was full of joy before entering the door, and there was even a sudden panic in his heart.

When people are overwhelmed, they will always do something inexplicable.

I don't know if I was talking to myself, or if I deliberately said it to Mu Qingwan, Feng Lin began to talk about the past between them.

The first acquaintance that makes people laugh, the companionship of childhood, and the love after marriage. and the pain of the years of forced separation, all the way to his vision of a better future now......

"Ah Wan, we are going back to the capital soon, as long as we return to the capital. We are the husband and wife known to the world, and there will never be Zhao Youjun between us again, we can be the same as before......" Feng Lin became more and more excited the more he said.

Mu Qingwan had been listening to him quietly, but when he heard this, he felt a lot more stunned and tired.

With these twenty years of pain between them. How is it possible to recover just by returning to the capital?

Feng Lin looked at Mu Qingwan's eyes when he was excited, but he suddenly quieted down because of her eyes, and the panic in his heart became more and more obvious.

"Brother Lin......" Mu Qingwan called out the name of Fenglin when she was young, but she couldn't return to her original state of mind, her face was exceptionally quiet under the reflection of the candlelight, although there were not too many traces of time on it, but it seemed a little lonely and vicissitudes, "It's been more than 20 years, you see, white hair has grown between your temples." ”

Stretched out his hand to pull out a few silver threads from Fenglin's sideburns, and those few white hairs lay quietly on Mu Qingwan's fingertips, silently showing the two traces of time.

"We're all old." Mu Qingwan quietly stated, "Those who are in love and love, now I have seen it, and I don't want to bother about it anymore, now I just want to stay by Zhige's side, watch her grow up, marry and have children, this is enough." ”

"Let's ...... that's it"

Feng Lin looked at Mu Qingwan in a daze, as if she didn't realize what she was saying.

What he recalled in his mind was the beautiful scene when they raised their eyebrows, but what he heard in his ears was Mu Qingwan's low sigh.

"Ah Wan, why is that?" Feng Lin showed sadness on his face.

In the past 20 years, although there is a Zhao Youjun by his side, what he has been thinking about is Mu Qingwan.

But now, they finally have the opportunity to start again, even after more than 20 years, why doesn't Ah Wan want to walk with him anymore?

Almost instantly, Feng Lin's eyes turned red.

Looking at Feng Lin's appearance, Mu Qingwan also felt a little sad in her heart.

There was indeed a very beautiful past between her and Fenglin back then, and those memories, even if they look back on it now, will always make her smile.

But......

"Brother Lin, time can change a moment."

"You see, the candles in this house have become shorter, the dust on the beams has increased, the trees in the yard have grown taller, and the marks on the bluestone slabs have increased......"

"Time has changed so many things, let alone people's hearts."

"I will always cherish the memories of the beginning, but after so many things, please forgive me for never being able to find the original state of mind when I only had you, I will keep you in my memories at that time, but not now."

"We will still grow old together, but we can no longer rely on each other as we did at the beginning, and we can also fulfill the vow of being old when we first got married, aren't we?"

After saying what he wanted to say, Mu Qingwan looked at Feng Lin quietly.

Feng Lin also looked at Mu Qingwan, the incomparable time not only dyed the hair between his manes white, but also left a faint wrinkle on Mu Qingwan's face, and he no longer looked like he was young.

After so many years, it was not until today that Feng Lin suddenly discovered that Mu Qingwan was no longer the person she was back then.

And the one who caused this qiē, in the final analysis, is him.

Feng Lin finally left Luo Shuixuan in despair.

Looking at his back, Mu Qingwan sighed softly, with bitterness and sadness in his heart, but he had no regrets.

As she said, time has changed so much that they can't go back to the way they used to be.

They have each other's participation for most of the time in their lives, and since they can't get along and can't be separated, they are looking at each other in time and each other is fine. (To be continued.) )
