Xia Mengnan wiped away her tears and returned to the house, and saw her mother, who had been ill for a long time, sitting in front of the dresser and dressing carefully, wearing a girl's pale green dress, which looked very beautiful.

"It's sunny today, come out for a walk with me." Xia He looked at Xia Mengnan, and Xia Mengnan nodded happily.

They walked to their yard, where the fruits and vegetables were growing well and exuding a charming fragrance. Xia He's eyes kept staring into the distance, and Xia Mengnan knew that that was where they lived before they came here.

"I remember that when I first met him, I wore this dress, when he was just a poor scholar who came out to work, and I was a young lady from Xia Yuanwai's family. I fell in love with this poor scholar, I loved hopelessly, and I did not hesitate to elope with him, and I could not fulfill my filial piety in front of my parents in this life. He said that he was going to take the test to gain fame, and he would definitely come back to marry me, let my parents approve of him, and let me wait for him to come back. I didn't tell him that I had his child at that time, and he never came back, and I waited for 15 years. Anan, remember your mother's words, don't spend this life waiting, it's too bitter. ”

Xia He was already unconscious after saying this, it was Jiang Liran who helped carry her into the house, Xia He was already a little unconscious at this moment, and she was holding Jiang Liran's hand at the moment.

"Haruka, you're back, aren't you? Why are you only coming back now, why don't you come back and marry me? Xia He shed a line of tears and lost her breath, and she couldn't let go of the negative person until she died.

"Mother." Xia Mengnan cried, Xia He had already left, and today was the most information Xia Mengnan had heard about her father. She often saw Xia He crying alone, but she didn't want her to carry so much.

Xia Mengnan knelt in front of Xia He's mourning hall with a sad face in plain clothes, and never cried. Jiang Liran hugged Xia Mengnan: "Anan, does it hurt?" ”

"It doesn't hurt." After Xia Mengnan finished speaking, she hugged Jiang Liran and cried, seeing her crying, Jiang Liran was relieved, her tears cut his heart like a sharp blade, she has been very strong since she was a child.

Xia Mengnan was going to live alone after all, and that day she wore a filial piety dress to go grocery shopping.

"Boss, how much is this." She had a handful of celery in her hand.

"Cents." After the boss finished speaking, Xia Mengnan took out three copper plates and handed them to him.

"Childe, look at that chick seems to be good-looking." Li Si said, pointing to Xia Mengnan's back.

"Why don't you catch up and take a look." Guo Shixing immediately chased after him, and the sixteen-year-old Guo Shixing already had three wives and concubines.

"I don't know which girl is going to be unlucky again."

"It's not, relying on his father to be taken by force by the county order, what kind of system has he become at such a young age." The two small traders looked at Guo Shixing's back with contempt.

Xia Mengnan's money bag fell to the ground, and Guo Shixing happened to see his face. I saw Xia Mengnan's eyebrows like a crescent moon, bright teeth and starry eyes, a clever smile, and a touching smile.

"Beauty, it's really a beauty, don't chase it quickly, ask whose girl it is." Guo Shixing commanded.

"It's Childe." By the time they reached the stream, they had lost their sights.

"It's really a rice bucket, keep looking." Guo Shixing looked at these family members dissatisfied, and the shadow in his mind could not be erased.

"Anan, what do you think this is?" Jiang Liran took out a plum blossom and handed it to Xia Mengnan as if offering a treasure.

"What are you sending me for?" Xia Mengnan took the hairpin very much, and he couldn't see plum blossoms here.

"Anan, I'm going to go to Beijing to take the exam, can I marry you when I get fame?" Jiang Liran looked at Xia Mengnan affectionately. Xia Mengnan's smile froze on her lips, she remembered that her mother said that she should not spend this life waiting, it was too bitter.

"I'll wait until you get back." Xia Mengnan returned the hairpin to Jiang Liran: "If you still want to marry me when you come back, you will put it on for me personally." ”

Jiang Liran instantly turned from sadness to joy: "So you agreed, okay, wait for me to come back and put it on for you." ”

On the day Jiang Liran left, Xia Mengnan bid him farewell by the stream.

"I'll be waiting for you here when you get back." Xia Mengnan tiptoed and kissed Jiang Liran's forehead like a dragonfly. Jiang Liran embarked on the journey to catch the exam.

Xia Mengnan blurred his eyes as he watched Jiang Liran's back go away, and Jiang Liran, the only one who accompanied him, also left.

I didn't want to be found by Li Si this time.

Guo Shixing doesn't think about tea these days, and thinks about the girl he saw that day all day long, and everyone has lost a whole circle.

"Childe, Childe, good news." Li Si ran in front of Guo Shixing.

"What good news, tell me quickly." Guo Shixing asked impatiently.

"Childe, that girl has been found, and she has inquired clearly." Li Si reported happily.

"Found it? What is the last name? Where do you live? Guo Shixing also immediately became excited.

"Her name is Xia Mengnan, and she lives not far from that stream, and now she is the only one left in the family, an orphan girl."

Li Si reported what he had heard.

"Xia Mengnan, this name is so familiar, where have you heard it?" Guo Shixing touched his head and thought.

"I remember, when I was a child, I was a little girl, and I didn't want to be so beautiful now." Guo Shixing thought about what happened when he was a child, and laughed stupidly.

"Childe, then this is a godsend, congratulations to Childe, congratulations to Childe." Li Si continued to pat his ass.

"You kid did a good job, I've rewarded you." Guo Shixing threw a silver ingot to Li Siyi.

"Thank you, thank you, Childe." Li Si smiled and retreated.

Xia Mengnan still weaves cloth every day, and reads books to relieve boredom in her spare time.

"Congratulations Miss Xia, congratulations to Miss Xia." A brightly dressed middle-aged woman came to Xia Mengnan's home.

"Who are you? What's the good news? Xia Mengnan looked puzzled.

"Oh, I'm Mrs. Li around here, Miss, but it's a big event." Mrs. Li looked at Xia Mengnan with a smile.

"Why is the matchmaker looking for me, it's wrong, you better go." Xia Mengnan said angrily.

"That's right, that's right, Miss Xia is the son of the county master's family, and she has taken a fancy to you, so don't you drag me to be a matchmaker, it's not a big joy." The matchmaker continued. As soon as Xia Mengnan heard the son-in-law of the county master's family, a chubby face and the words Guo Shixing appeared in her mind, the person she hated the most since she was a child.

"Tell him that this girl will not marry." Saying that, Xia Mengnan pushed the matchmaker out of the door and locked the door.

"Hey, Young Master Guo has taken a fancy to you, it's your blessing to be a concubine, and you don't look at what you look like, so rude, I'm not afraid that you won't be able to marry in the future." Mrs. Li was angry, so she had to get over her addiction.

"Guo Gongzi, that woman's temper is too big, she just kicked me out, you think it's better to be so virtuous, Ming'er, I'll find a few good ones for you."

Mrs. Li complained to Guo Shixing.

", Young Master Ben just likes her, so he has to want her." Guo Shixing took the case, and Mrs. Li was so frightened that she immediately shut up.

"Young master, don't be angry, you extinguish the fire." Li Si immediately handed Guo Shixing a cup of tea.

"Don't get out yet." Guo Shixing yelled at Mrs. Li, and Mrs. Li hurriedly left in fright.

"Young master, why don't we go and tie her up, and when the raw rice is cooked into cooked rice, she will have to follow if she doesn't follow it." Li Si had a bad idea in front of Guo Shixing. Guo Shixing nodded, feeling that this method was feasible.

Li Si brought a group of people to Xia Mengnan's house.

"What are you going to do?" Xia Mengnan stepped back vigilantly.

"What are you doing, toasting without eating and drinking, catch her."

After Li Si finished speaking, a large group of family members rushed up.

"Oops, you dare to bite me." A family member was bitten by Xia Mengnan and wailed in pain.

"Catch her and want to run." Xia Mengnan was put into a ** bag and put into the carriage.

"What's going on?" There are a lot of people watching the excitement around.

"It's not that Guo Shixing has fallen in love with someone else's girl again." It's all about it. Jiang Liran's parents were very anxious but helpless beside them, they couldn't afford to provoke Guo Shixing, now that Jiang Liran hadn't come back yet, it was time to return to his hometown, how could this be good.

"Young master, young master is here." After Li Si finished screaming, he saw a whining and struggling sound in a ** bag.

"Don't release it soon, don't suffocate." Guo Shixing shouted, Xia Mengnan was released from the sack, and looked at Guo Shixing angrily.

"All of you go down, go down quickly." Guo Shixing was very excited to urge, and the person he had been thinking about for a long time was in front of him.

"Yes, young master." And they all withdrew, in their true form. Xia Mengnan was still tied hand and foot, and Guo Shixing stroked Xia Mengnan's cheek.

"Take away your pig's hands." Xia Mengnan shouted angrily.

"I can't imagine that you are still as spicy as when you were a child, Young Master Ben likes it." Guo Shixing's eyebrows and eyes were smiling, and he obtained those three women, which one is not obedient, this is fresh.

"Phew, who wants you to like it." Xia Mengnan glanced at Guo Shixing.

"Haha, the more you are like this, the more my son likes you. From this son, you who eat fragrant and drink spicy food are the fourth aunt of this son. Guo Shixing continued to touch down, frightened Xia Mengnan.

"Do you really like me?" Xia Mengnan pretended to be calm and asked Guo Shixing.

"Then there can be a holiday, since I saw you that day, I don't think about it." Guo Shixing expressed his admiration to Xia Mengnan.

"Then if you really like me, you should take it from the media, and catch me at will, what's the matter?" Xia Mengnan looked at Guo Shixing's eyes.

"I'm looking for a matchmaker, wasn't you driving me away?" Guo Shixing looked at Xia Mengnan puzzled, and Xia Mengnan vaguely remembered that there was such a thing.

"If you don't untie me quickly, it hurts to death." Guo Shixing remembered that he loosened the shackles on Xia Mengnan, and he liked her slender figure even more.

"That, if you really like me, you let me go back first, and then marry me in three days." Xia Mengnan thought about escaping first, and then he would say that three days later would be the day when Jiang Liran agreed, if he didn't come back

"Well." Guo Shixing pondered.

"You don't like me at all, lie to me, you kidnapped me like this today, and he will let me behave like a person in the future." Xia Mengnan stomped his feet and became angry at Guo Shixing.

"How could I not like you, okay, three days, three days." Guo Shixing compromised, looking at Xia Mengnan obsessively, even angry was so cute.

Jiang Liran was admitted to Tanhua and was sent by the emperor to do something, but he encountered heavy rain halfway, and he was desperately rushing back, seeing that the appointed day was coming. That day, Xia Mengnan dressed up very beautifully, came to the creek of separation, and waited for Jiang Liran to come back.

Seeing that it was getting late and late, her heart was also a little lost, today is the last day, if he doesn't come back today, then tomorrow Guo Shixing will get a corpse.

After the agreed deadline, Xia Mengnan laughed: "Mother, you are right, the wait is too hard, I will accompany you." Xia Mengnan hanged herself on the big tree with three feet of white silk, she was sixteen years old that year, and Jiang Liran was eighteen years old.

When Jiang Liran came back, it was already two days late, and he couldn't find her when he went to Xia Mengnan's house, and everyone was immersed in the joy of Jiang Liran's high school.

"Mother, do you know where Anan went?" After Jiang Liran finished speaking, his mother's face suddenly became gloomy.

"Say it." Jiang Liran was very anxious.

"Come with me." Jiang Liran's mother shook her head, led the way in front, and walked to the creek.

"Mother, what do you mean?" Jiang Liran was very puzzled, and saw that there was a new grave next to the stream, and there was a tombstone inserted on it, with the words Xia Mengnan written on it. Jiang Liran walked to the grave, touching the tombstone and already burst into tears.

"Anan, does it hurt?" No one will stubbornly answer that he doesn't hurt anymore.

"I'm two days late tonight, and I've been separated from you for a lifetime, what am I trying to do to gain fame?"

Jiang Liran had been sitting in front of Xia Mengnan's grave all night. The falling flowers are still the same, the flowing water is still the same, the feelings are still the same, and you ...... Where is it? The death of one person, the regret of two people.

Jiang Liran knew the cause of Xia Mengnan's death, and collected evidence that Guo Shixing forcibly robbed the people's women and occupied the land privately, and Guo Shixing had been confiscated to the frontier. Guo Xianling was also suspended for corruption and perversion of the law, and he lost his black yarn hat. However, Jiang Liran stayed in this small place as a county magistrate, fair and selfless, and was praised by others. He still often went to the stream to talk to Xia Mengnan, even if no one answered him anymore.
