In autumn, the greenery on the tips has been exhausted, and the dust on the official road has been raised. The horses' hooves are together, and the sand and dust are mixed in the floating dust, which makes people cough lightly, especially the bumpy road.

Ciyun Temple, although hidden in the deep mountains in the west of the city, is a famous temple, the incense is prosperous, even if it is not the big day of Shuowang, it is still like a weaving of people. The morning glow has not receded, and the mountain gate has been very lively.

Qinfu's carriage slowly greeted the mountain gate, already suffered from the bumps along the way, and the aunt and sister-in-law both had their own thoughts, for a while, in the warm carriage, only the endless sale of all kinds of incense and candles on the mountain road.

The carriage suddenly froze, and Qin Nanxi, who was in the car, shook his body before he woke up from his contemplation.

"Ma'am." The servant woman who was accompanying her outside the curtain hesitated and called.

Xiao Luomei slowly raised her hand to lift the velvet curtain, tilted her head slightly, glanced out of the car, and only whispered a few words to the servant woman who came in, and the carriage slowly moved again.

"Sister-in-law?" Qin Nanxi turned her head to meet Xiao Luomei, she had been on the sickbed for more than a season, she looked thinner and thinner than in midsummer, her clear pupils were more and more crystal transparent, and she guessed who was blocking the way outside the car. After all, when she really uses her mind, she does not lose Xiao Luomei's meticulousness.

"After all, I want to meet. If his sister doesn't see him, he won't give up. Xiao Luomei's eyes were still calm, and she couldn't tell whether she was pitying Situ Chong outside the car or sympathizing with Qin Nanxi in the car.

"Why bother! Can you still resist the decree! Qin Nanxi muttered a sentence from the bottom of his lips, as if he was sad and sarcastic, and looked through the small gap between the car wall and the velvet curtain, and looked at the poor figure who had retreated to the side of the road.

On the tall horse, Situ Chong, who was wrapped in the Hulan Shu brocade cloak, stared mournfully at the Qinfu carriage that slowly passed by. The blue of the lake reflected the golden light of the morning sun, which made his emaciated cheeks even paler, and under the two pitch-black sword eyebrows, a pair of eyes were already haggard and grief.

"Nanxi, Brother Chong is still sick! He heard that you came here after leaving the house, and he just wanted to see you. Xiao Luomei carefully put her palm on the back of Qin Nanxi's hand and said tentatively.

"I heard?" Qin Nanxi flipped over her palm, her cold fingertips held Xiao Luomei's soft white hand, looked at her sideways, and asked for a long aftertaste.

"This, this is indeed the person I sent to inform him, Brother Chong's heart is heavy, and he has made a decree to marry, he can't afford to be sick, and he is still clamoring to enter the palace to ask to see the concubine. In the end, the bell still needs to be tied to the bell, and I am praying on behalf of my aunt to persuade my sister to persuade my younger brother. Xiao Luomei hurriedly glanced at Situ Chong, who flashed through the cracks, clenched Qin Nanxi's hand, and said earnestly.

The corners of Qin Nanxi's mouth seemed to be curled, lowered her eyes, and said quietly: "Sister-in-law once said that I would definitely be pointed out to Situ Chong, presumably in addition to sister-in-law, many people thought about this at the beginning, so it is so unexpected now?" ”

"Hey, it's a pity that the Sacred Heart is unpredictable! Although my sister was pointed out to the Situ Guo Mansion, she never expected it to be pointed out to the general. ”

"General? Sister-in-law is so strange, how can the same brother be so favoritism. The doubts at the Dragon Boat Banquet lingered in my heart for a long time, and finally I asked them in a reasonable way. Although Qin Nanxi had a plan in her heart, her father and brother couldn't ignore it, and she secretly estimated the gaps and chips that could survive and get out of trouble.

Xiao Luomei's eyes flashed slightly, and she casually withdrew her hand from Qin Nanxi's palm, gently squeezed the pear-white cloak that slipped off Qin Nanxi's knees, and responded with a smile: "This matter is not a secret, and it is only sister, you don't pay attention to these, so I still don't know." Although General Situ Yi is the eldest son of Lao Guogong, he is not from my aunt. ”

"Situ Yi and Situ Kun, Situ Chong was not born to the same mother?" Originally a very obvious thing, there is always a trace of wonderful hazy guessing, but now that I think about it, Situ Yi and Situ Chong are indeed very different.

"Not only the general, but also the concubine of King Changping." Xiao Luomei received it indifferently.

"They should be brothers and sisters!" The same hazel eyes, tall and elongated figures, delicate and distinct outlines. Qin Nanxi was suddenly, secretly hating his hindsight.

Xiao Luomei slanted the corners of her lips and said, "Situ Linlang is bent on planning for her brother, but we never expected her to care about the ....... between your sister and Brother Chong."

"My sister-in-law has long known that there is nothing between me and Situ Chong except for friendship." Qin Nanxi's heart fluctuated, and she closed her eyes slightly, cutting off Xiao Luomei's uncharacteristic words.

Xiao Luomei looked stunned, exhausted the subtle thoughts that had just been leaked, turned around and gave Qin Nanxi a barber of starry white beads, and said slowly: "My sister is destined to be the daughter-in-law of the Situ family, the pillar of the general's country. ”

Qin Nanxi's eyebrows were raised, and her gaze swept over Xiao Luomei, as faint and light as Chenlan on the western corner of the sky at this time, ruthless, and only received it after a while: "Since sister-in-law thinks that Nanxi and Situ Yi are a match, why rush to find Situ Chong today?" They are half-brothers after all. ”

Xiao Luomei's deep eyelashes trembled, her body moved out slightly, and she smiled calmly and kindly: "Sister, is this suspicious of me?" I just can't see my cousin getting haggard for my sister. Although my sister was pointed out to the general, she hasn't been out of the cabinet yet, and it's not a big deal to meet her childhood partner. If the younger sister is willing, persuade the younger brother, if not, just don't see him. ”

Shaking his head helplessly, Qin Nanxi stared at Xiao Luomei and said: "Time passes, it is the best consolation in the world, in a few days, Situ Chong will naturally heal physically and mentally, so why should I recruit him?" But it hurt him? ”

Xiao Luomei smiled faintly, noncommittal, only supported Qin Nanxi, and said, "My sister doesn't want to see him, I'll just persuade him to go back, let's go in." ”

My sister-in-law got out of the car hand in hand, and saw that there were two monks who were familiar with Qin Fu outside the car. After greeting each other, the two followed the monk's guidance to the already empty hall.

Qin Nan was stunned, Ciyun Temple is a daily visit, the incense is prosperous, and the Daxiong Treasure Hall has always been surrounded by believers, and he has never seen such a cold and empty.

"There is a word from the Changping Palace, saying that the general's wife is going to come to worship incense today, and there is no mistake or omission, and the temple does not dare to slack off, so it has to be ......." The monk seemed to have done something wrong, and said with a red face.

"Humph! Mrs. General! My sister-in-law also said that Nan Xi has not yet come out of the cabinet, and it is not a big deal to meet old friends for a while! Qin Nanxi was angry, full of resentment lingering in his throat, and when he spit it out, it became a sneer.

Xiao Luomei's surprised eyes stopped in her eyes, and after only a moment, she calmly persuaded: "It is reasonable for the princess to worry about her future sister-in-law. It's just that disturbing the people is contrary to the teachings of my father-in-law. Sister, don't worry, you and I will leave quickly after worshipping, and this hall will naturally be the same as usual. ”

When the two monks heard what Xiao Luomei said, they seemed to be forgiven, and they bowed and retreated to the side. As soon as he lowered his body, he sat down on a small futon, closed his eyes, and immediately abandoned the glitz and glamour of the world. The wooden fish in their hands sounded, and the quiet and serene voice covered Qin Nanxi's resentment and Xiao Luomei's fleeting thoughts.

Kneeling down with her skirt lifted, her palms clasped together, Qin Nanxi raised her head and stared into the air intently, but her mind wandered quietly.

"Nanxi!" Xiao Luomei handed over a small bunch of lighted incense candles.

Raising his hand to take it, Qin Nanxi knelt up straight, prayed silently, and bowed sincerely.

"Nan Xi is out of the pavilion, I'm afraid that in the future, there will be no chance for our sister-in-law to enter and be in the same place like this." Xiao Luomei said while solemnly inserting the incense candle in her hand into the incense burner in front of her, the top of the Qinglan incense candle, the fire light that was bright and dark for a while, as if a few ** escaped from the depths of hell, and still kept thinking about it under the light of the Buddha.

"Sister-in-law." Qin Nanxi only called once, and then couldn't pick up the next words, the nostalgia that had been suppressed for a long time in his heart, he was reluctant, and the guilt still jumped out.

There was also a faint hint of moisture in Xiao Luomei's eyes, "My sister is only afraid that she is going to live on the frontier with the general for a long time, and it is bitter cold there..." ”

Stunned, Qin Nanxi stared at Xiao Luomei's impeccable smile, and asked after a while: "How does my sister-in-law know about Nanxi's childhood?" ”

"Naturally, your brother told me. Nanxi, we are a family, don't worry, except for us, no one will know that you were not born and raised in the ancestral house in Jiangnan at all. Xiao Luomei was facing this Qin Nanxi's eyes, and for a moment, a strange, like a gambler-like look rose.

Before Qin Nanxi could see it clearly, he heard Xiao Luomei receive it again: "Nanxi should remember the shocking case that your brother helped Situ Kun solve three years ago, right?" I heard that there was a big fish that slipped through the net at that time. Except for your brother, no one knows that the fish is still swimming in the northern frontiers. ”

"Sister-in-law is talking about the assassin of Qianning Hall three years ago? What does this have to do with me? Sister-in-law, what the hell are you talking about? Qin Nanxi stared at Xiao Luomei and asked.

"Nan Xi just said that time is the best medicine in the world, but sister, you can't forget it, don't you? I heard that there is a fish in the Yunxiu Valley of Cuiwei Mountain that is unique in this world, and my sister has only loved that kind of fish since she was a child? After ten years, my sister still thinks about that spirit fish when she wants to come? Xiao Luomei floated to Qin Nanxi's side lightly, slowly hugging her, wanting to go out.

Qin Nanxi's feet were frozen in shock on the gold bricks of the main hall, she stared at Xiao Luomei's invisible pupils, her trembling lips tried her best to calm down for a long time, and then asked in a trembling voice: "Sister-in-law said...?"

Xiao Luomei nodded, the smile on the corner of her lips was considerate and gentle.
