Four months is enough time to stir up the feelings of two people who love each other.

However, at this moment, their expressions were unprecedentedly sad and solemn.

"My lord......" Xu Qingqing looked at Yan Jinrui and stopped talking, his beautiful eyes were full of sorrow.

"I told you you could call me Jinrui where it's just the two of us." Yan Jinrui said softly, looking at her with eyes burning like summer sunshine.

This woman was exactly what he wanted in terms of appearance, talent, age, and manners, and although she was a month older than himself, he still stubbornly refused to call her 'sister'.

Of course, Xu Qingqing knew his intentions, but she knew that it was impossible for her to be with him—because she was a widow with a six-year-old boy, and she knew that a wealthy family like the Yan family, which focused on reputation and family, would never allow someone like her to marry in. So from the first day she met Yan Jinrui, she carefully hid the admiration in her heart.

For this reason, she often deliberately avoided meeting him.

However, the Xiyi Pavilion where she taught was not very far away from the study room where he taught classes to the emperors and grandchildren, and the road in front of the Xiyi Hall was the only way for Yan Jinrui to go to the Shangshufang, so it was inevitable that the two would meet.

Besides, I don't know if it's a providential arrangement in the dark, every time she avoids him, the more unexpected situations will make her run into him, he has sincere feelings for her, and she has an early love for him, so the seeds of love still can't help but take root in each other's hearts.

At first, they just watched each other from a distance in the palace, and the occasional passing by would make both parties blush and heartbeat, and then ignite the good mood of the day.

In fact, Yan Jinrui also experienced a fierce psychological struggle at the beginning of knowing her, and he knew that his family would not agree to them being together, so he stubbornly controlled his feelings, and deliberately kept a cold face every time he saw her. However, it wasn't until one day that he found out that she hadn't entered the palace that he realized that his heart was taken from him.

That day, he was in a haunt all day, guessing the reason why she didn't come to the palace to teach, and the more he thought about it, the more worried he became, but he didn't dare to ask. For a day, two days, three days, she didn't come. He panicked, and he was very guilty, thinking that it was his own reason that caused her to be like this, so he couldn't help but ask a palace maid about her.

"The specific reasons are not clear. I only heard that there is something at home, so I have to take a few days off. The maid said.

He managed to find out her home address.

It was a small town between the suburbs and the city, and it was called Zhuangyuanzhuang, so named because almost one out of every ten households had a champion.

No wonder she was so high, it turned out to be someone there, on the way to him he thought to himself.

At that time, he didn't know her background.

Arrive at Zhuangyuanzhuang. He immediately felt a thick and pleasant literati atmosphere—the children of every family here were reading at the windowsill, and some of the children who lived close to each other were chanting poems against each other through the windows.

Yan Jinrui immediately fell in love with this place.

When I get married, I will also buy a house here to live in, Yan Jinrui secretly decided.

In this way, his children can grow up in an environment with a strong learning atmosphere, which is his greatest wish.

He couldn't help but look forward to the future.

If he and Xu Qingqing can be together...... His face flushed.

Walking through the streets and alleys, looking for and asking, he finally found Xu Qingqing's home.

This is a two-in, two-out quadrangle, located at the end of the alley, the back of the yard is against the mountain, and surrounded by green trees, the environment is very quiet.

The person who opened the door was a girl of about fifteen or sixteen years old. I was very surprised when I saw Yan Jinrui - because my wife has always been clean and self-conscious, she neither sees customers nor goes shopping on weekdays. Recently, although I accepted the queen's invitation to teach in the palace, I always came back directly after class, and never stayed elsewhere, why would such a young and handsome son suddenly visit.

"I am Yan Jinrui, who teaches the emperor's grandsons in the palace, and I am in the palace with Xu ...... The girl has met several times, and recently heard that she has not entered the palace for three days, and I am afraid that something will happen to her family, so I came to take a look. Yan Jinrui politely explained what he meant.

On the other hand, he was a little worried about the reluctance of his reason.

The girl didn't think much of it, and hurriedly invited him in.

Only then did Yan Jinrui know that Xu Qingqing already had a six-year-old son, Pu Ruyi, and her husband was Pu Minya, the former Zhan Shi of Zhan Shifu. However, he died of illness three years ago, so now there are only two and three of their mothers and sons left in this house.

It turned out that she was Park Minya's widow, and Yan Jinrui was secretly surprised.

Park Min Ah had already passed away when he entered the palace to take office, so he didn't see him. But I had heard of him from my father, who said that he was a man of 'great beauty, who knew the rhythm of music, and who was especially good at poetry,' and that he was 'not close to women, and did not marry until fifty or forty o'clock, according to his mother's will,' but by that time he was 'sick and knew that his days were numbered.' Therefore, he refused to marry for a long time, but the girl's family was still willing to marry him when they learned of this situation, and gave birth to a son for him the following year after marriage. ’

After learning about her life experience, Yan Jinrui was very emotional.

"You must have a lot of respect for your husband, don't you?" Yan Jinrui asked.

"Yes, he's someone I've admired since I was a child." Xu Qingqing replied truthfully.

"So you know that his time is running out, but you are still willing to marry him?" Yan Jinrui sighed and asked, really regretting that she didn't meet her earlier.

"Yes." She replied in a low voice with a blushing face.

Yan Jinrui got up to say goodbye.

It was late when he got home that day.

However, although he learned of her background, his love for her never stopped.

This love contains both respect and admiration for her, as well as an adult man's instinctive love for a mature woman, so he took the initiative to ask her to go boating a few days later, and she agreed after a difficult psychological struggle.

After that, they would go on a date on the boat every two or three days.

Those days happened to be the days when Su Shanyun came to Yan's house as a guest before returning to the island city.

At that time, Yan Yunpei and Mrs. Lu had expressed dissatisfaction with his late return, but he covered up the past on the grounds that he had friends visiting Beijing and needed to accompany him.

After that, he restrained himself from dating Xu Qingqing for nearly two months, until recently, love made the two unable to restrain each other, so they started dating again.

Even though they have dated no less than ten times, the two have not even held hands, let alone come closer.

On the one hand, because in his eyes she was as holy and dignified as a goddess, and he felt that it was a blasphemy against her even when he thought about it. On the other hand, she has never fully opened her heart to him.

"Jinrui, I've thought carefully about it in the past few days, let's make a decision." Xu Qingqing's sad voice came faintly, waking Yan Jinrui up from his memories.

He suddenly raised his eyes to look directly at her, his eyes showing unwillingness.

Xu Qingqing avoided his eyes, lowered his head and poured half a glass of wine into his and his own wine glasses, and said softly: "Let tonight be our last appointment, and please forget me from tomorrow." (To be continued.) )
