Outside, the wind was howling, the snow was falling, and occasionally the branches of the trees that survived the winter could not survive the spring when the snow broke and the sound of thunderbolts was beating.

Inside the house, dozens of red candles were lit, the red curtain hung low, and the warmth from the floor heating made people drowsy. Nian Qiu and the others retreated one after another, leaving only Chen Qiuniang and Hongmei in the house. Chen Qiuniang wore a red silk brocade jacket with a fox fur collar and a black skirt, and knelt quietly in front of the desk.

Hongmei was opposite her, looked at her son's longing face, sighed helplessly, and said, "I'll go and relieve him of the drug." ”

"Just nine dissecting pills, let him think it's a dream." Chen Qiuniang said.

Hongmei said "um" and turned into the curtain, Chen Qiuniang sat at the table, waited for Hongmei to come out again, and whispered, "Miss Su, it's done." ”

"Stand down." Chen Qiuniang whispered.

Hongmei didn't say anything, and slowly withdrew. The room was silent, Chen Qiuniang looked at the dishes on the table, estimated that Jiang Fan had woken up, so she picked up the pipa in her hand and slowly played a simple and distant tune, and then gently opened her mouth and slowly sang an adapted ancient song of "Cai Wei":

"In the past, I went back, the willows are still around, and now I think about it, and the rain and snow are falling. Those who know me say that I am worried, and those who do not know me say what do I want? Those who know me say that I am worried, and those who do not know me say that I want something. ”

Her fingers flowed, and the strings flowed out of the most quaint tunes. She is not a music master, she only understands fur, ancient musical instruments, the master only taught her the pipa and guzheng, she followed Yunxin to learn the dong flute, and Xiaohuan knew a thing or two about Konghou.

Fuguang Gongzi said: "Yirong is a skill, and he looks at that face." In fact, it is a blend of lines, shapes, and colors. If you want to become a top master, you must be knowledgeable and all-encompassing. Do it all. It's changing. ”

Chen Qiuniang felt that what the master said was very profound, so she consciously understood it as a saying: one minute on stage, ten years off the stage.

She sang it again, and then quietly plucked the lute, and the slowly written tune seemed to take people away from this snowy night, and returned to the warm spring sun of March. Blue skies in the south. Momo mulberry path is as jade as jade, who is happy to meet.

There was a slow wind in the curtain. Like a garment like the wind. Chen Qiuniang lowered her eyebrows, knowing that Jiang Fan had already gotten up. She sang the song "Picking Rose" again, and when she sang "Those who know me say that I am worried". Jiang Fan suddenly lifted the curtain, and a long sword was across her neck. Jiang Fan, who was dressed in a white robe, his long hair was untied, and shouted in a deep voice: "Who are you?" ”

Chen Qiuniang paused for a moment, and then replied slowly: "Gongzi Jiang will not allow me to finish singing this song." ”

Jiang Fan snorted. He put away his sword and stood aside, looking at her who was bowing his head, and said nothing. Chen Qiuniang continued to play the pipa. Keep singing. That gesture is really beautiful. Even she herself couldn't help but sigh: this alluring appearance, no matter how heroes are, they are sad about this beauty.

At the end of the song, she slowly pressed the note, put the pipa aside, raised her head to look at Jiang Fan, and saw Jiang Fan's suddenly changed face, her lips trembled a few times, she took two steps back, and shouted: "Qiu Niang? ”

"I made a few side dishes, Childe take a look, I don't know if it suits your appetite." She didn't answer him, and pointed straight to the dishes on the table.

Jiang Fan looked down at those dishes, especially when he saw the vegetable leaf steamed bun, the long sword in his hand suddenly fell to the ground, and he knelt in front of the desk at once, looked at the steamed bun, reached out and grabbed a piece and put it to his mouth and ate a small piece, his face changed suddenly, he trembled and dragged the steamed bun in his hand, looked up at Chen Qiuniang, and asked, "Qiu Niang, is it you?" ”

"Childe, don't come unharmed." She smiled.

"No, no, we've been separated for three years, you, you've grown up." He was a little incoherent, and then said, "Qiu Niang, do you know, I miss you very much." However, they said that you fell into the Minjiang River, and your bones were gone. ”

Chen Qiuniang looked at him with a chuckle, and didn't answer, but said, "Childe is more calm than before." ”

Jiang Fan smirked twice, straightened his body, knelt opposite him, and looked at her through the candlelight. He has always talked a lot, but he didn't speak at this moment, only relative to Chen Qiuniang.

Chen Qiuniang looked at it for a while, then hid her face and smiled, and said jokingly: "Childe, don't you have anything to say to me?" ”

"You originally called me Childe, but then you didn't call me Childe anymore." He said this for no reason.

"yes, for a while, I don't know what to call it." Chen Qiuniang smiled awkwardly. How could Jiang Fan be like this in the past. At that time, he talked a lot, he was just a little child who didn't grow up, and he had to talk about marrying her.

"It's okay to call anything, such as husband, brother, or Lang Jun, but don't call it a child." He said that the tone was lazy, but it looked like the innocent boy in Shuzhong.

Chen Qiuniang pursed her lips, pretended to be angry, and said, "You are here again." ”

"I wasn't like that before, I was full of confidence. Now, in this world, my character has to be every step of the way, which is really ridiculous. Jiang Fan laughed at himself, then poured himself a glass of wine, and the wine entered his throat, before he said, "Now that I have to see you, I have no taboos, I can say whatever I want, and I want to be improper." ”

Chen Qiuniang was sad to hear it, she knew that this young man was an eagle in the sky and liked to fly freely, but now he had to bear the rise and fall of the family, and he had to consider every move. What a painful torment for a man who yearns for freedom like the wind.

"What you say is nothing, I still like your bright appearance, your eyebrows are clean and happy." She said.

Jiang Fan suddenly paused, his eyes were wet, and his emotions moved, and he said, "Qiu Niang, no one has talked about what I used to be for a long time. When they talk about it, they say that I am almost crazy. They don't remember what I used to be. Qiu Niang, are you back? It's you. ”

"It's me." She replied softly.

When Jiang Fan heard this answer, he turned his back and shook his shoulders violently, and after a while, Chen Qiuniang heard a whimper in his throat that he was trying to suppress. She got up lightly and walked over, knelt in front of him, and whispered, "If you're sad, cry." ”

"I'm not sad, I'm happy." Jiang Fan's voice choked.

"Okay, happy. Glad. But hungry? Let's eat something. She said, then slowly got up and fiddled with the incense in the incense burner next to her.

"Well, I'm hungry." He said, picked up the chopsticks, and ate a round.

Chen Qiuniang looked at his appearance, and she was very sad and sad. There were tears in his eyes. Gently lowered his eyes, and the tears slipped silently.

Jiang Fan devoured it, but suddenly stopped. took the handkerchief next to him and cleaned it carefully, before he sat upright with the graceful posture of a handsome nobleman, looked at her and said, "They said that you fell into the Minjiang River." ”

His words seemed to be questioning, but they seemed to be determined. Chen Qiuniang was taken aback. I secretly thought that Hongmei and the others were really unnecessary, Jiang Fan was the queen of the famous family after all. Master and Master are not ordinary people, where can they teach apprentices like fools? I'm afraid that the way he looks now is also made for others to see.

"Yes." She said.

"Then why are you here?" He was aggressive.

"Perhaps, it's a dream of yours." Chen Qiuniang said this. I already feel that this situation is out of control. She never thought that Jiang Fan was not as willful and reckless as Hongmei said, and she was simply dizzy in Chen Qiuniang's matter. She only secretly blamed herself for not being thorough at this moment. It's naïve to be a man. The Jiang family dared to let him lead the army, he must not be what the world sees.

"Really?" Jiang Fan smiled on his lips. His expression was much calmer.

"Yes." Chen Qiuniang chuckled.

Jiang Fan was silent, only took the wine glass, smelled it, and said: "The good wine of the rich feast, this method of winemaking, was created by Qiu Niang. ”

"It's much better than cloudy wine, but it's full of stamina." She said, sipping the wine from her glass gently.

Jiang Fan also took a drink and asked, "Won't you tell me?" They said that you fell into the Minjiang River, I didn't believe it originally, you plan people's hearts, you are smart. When he said this, there was continued pain in his indifferent expression.

"But I want to hear from Childe about all these years." Chen Qiuniang asked calmly.

Jiang Fan looked at her, showed a smile that seemed to be not smiling, lowered his eyelids, and then looked up at her again, and said slowly: "After leaving * Town, I was placed under house arrest in Bianjing, and I was not allowed to leave without the king's order. I heard that you fell into the Minjiang River, and I sneaked back. Searching all the way along the Minjiang River, and by the way, several bandit dens on both sides of the Minjiang River were destroyed, and they said that they did not see your body. I just want you to be alive, I think you're still alive. ”

His tone was calm at first, but then his tone was scrambled. During this period, tears poured down his eyes and said: "I want to wait for you in March and February, you will definitely appear, and I also secretly went to spy on Zhang Ci, I think you are so good to him, you are so good to him, if you are still alive, you, you must go to him." ”

When he said this, his face was mocking, and he shook his head, and said, "If you are so good to him, you will definitely go to him." I felt hopeless when I thought about it, and I hated myself for leaving *town. If I don't leave *town, I will be by your side, I will not let you be in the slightest danger, I will not use you as a pawn, and whoever wants to offend you, I will let him die without a place to bury. But fate makes people, I can't be by your side. To you, I'm just a passerby. ”

"How can you be a passerby? You are my savior, and that time, if you don't die, I will be dead. She said hurriedly.

Jiang Fan shook his head and said, "I just took his orders to save you, but I haven't really saved you once." That time, I met a cannibal in the mountains, and I thought I had come by myself. Later, I found out that he was the one who motioned for someone to let me go. I can't compare to him, even if I compare to the top. I am better than him in heaven and earth. ”

"Where do you compare that way? You are you, and he is him. Chen Qiuniang hurriedly said.

"The song "At Least You" was sung to him before you jumped into the Minjiang River. When I heard that song, I wanted to kill myself, I hated this man for not being free. I've thought countless times if I had been by your side—" Jiang Fan shook his head very self-deprecatingly. (To be continued) R466
